Father and Son is a collection of short stories by Hanna Ibrahim Elias and Mohammad Ali Saeid
who have managed to compel into unity the contradictions of being Israeli citizens and sons of
the Palestinian people. These stories span over fifty years and so faithfully record the rise
and development of the various aspects of what is called paradoxically Israeli-Palestinian
life. Readers of this volume will encounter serious stories strewn with light and humorous
scenes stories of intense love mixed with stories of the unusual. Story after story advocates
a different choice in terms of point of view gender and setting. Each character is exciting
moving and convincing. Casual readers will taste the flavor of a different culture while
scholars interested in Arabic literature will be provided with new fields for academic
evaluations and critique.
