The Novel "Word of the Fay"
In the novel "Word of the Fay", Leana Badr plays an overlap between the present and memory, and multiplicity in the narrative voices. She wanted to express the Palestinian life outside and within Palestine, and to show the many victims and horrors of the Palestinian camps outside the country. The novel covers a wide stage between 1977 and 1982, which was completed with Beirut, and follows many personalities of different nature and stripes.
The Importance of Memory
Leana Badr believes that memory is the crane that protects our presence from the lack of hope. If we maintain our memory, we help our presence, love, tenderness, and expectations, so that we do not fall away from the disappointment and forgetting prey. At a collective level, not writing our Palestinian history is a loss, and Leana Badr works to follow the general history in the personal history of the people she knows.
Historical Documentation and Self-Reflection
Leana Badr’s work represents a mixture of historical documentation and self-seeing. She believes that this combination of personal and public history makes writing in the Palestinian case.

She wants to show the many victims and horrors of the Palestinian camps outside the country and to monitor a phase full of women’s victims and the rise of their skills and skills in order to contribute to the Palestinian life in all of its manifestations. Leana Badr believes that writing is a living archive for the experience of home and exile, and she needs another year to tell what happened in Palestine, to which she returned in 1994.
The Novel "The White Tent"
In her novel "The White Tent", Leana Badr uses the details of everyday life, from songs to the scene of the barriers. She sees the regular details and diaries in her literary project as essential elements.

Poetry and Cinema
Leana Badr is not only a writer but also a poet and filmmaker. Her first writing was poetry because it is traditional in Palestinian culture. Leana Badr dedicated her novel author and strict work so that the scales do not mix, and there is a positive separation between them. She grew up to visit films with the children of the family and thought in her childhood that she would work as a cinematic hero like many other works.

Leana Badr won the Palestine Prize for Literature, which is a pure incentive that points out that she is on the right track and that she has to continue everything she costs and victims.

Current Work and Aspirations
Leana Badr is still looking for a room for a break that ends in this unjust war against the Palestinian people in Gaza, in which tens of thousands of families, women, and children were killed.

Leana Badr strives for peace in which this crazy murder stops, and she hopes that her writing will make a difference in the lives of the Palestinian people.
