"The Secret Life of Saeed" relates the experiences of a not-so-bright Palestinian informer. Saeed leads a tragic life, and thinks his only chance in improvement is by working with the Israelis to discredit and destroy Palestinian political workers' groups. Through symbols and metaphors, the author illustrates the absurdly difficult life that working class Palestinians are forced to lead because of Israeli occupation.
