A few months before dying of cancer, Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous engages with his friend Omar Amiralay in a long conversation on the question of Palestine and the Arab-Israeli conflict. Wannous narrates his somber and relentless reflections – an adieu to a generation for whom this conflict has been a foil for forging a political identity and its aftermath the source of all disillusion. He recounts, with regret for the lost opportunities that resulted, how the Palestinian struggle became a central part of intellectual life for an entire generation.
