Displacement and Dilemma of Identity in the novel Something to Tell You by Hanif Kureishi

Nafisa Zargar

Abstract :

Hanif Kureishi is an English novelist, screen-writer, filmmaker, playwright and short story writer. He is known for his contentious, soul-bå and highly sexed-up prose. Critics have attributed his choice of themes to his own life. But this paper posits the view that Kureishi’s choice of themes surpasses his biographical origins. This paper explores to what degree does Kureishi place and alleviate the transnational identity in the novel Something to Tell You. Do the immigrants in the novel subsist in a land of nowhere, ensuing from their endeavour to rise above cultural concerns and confer assorted racial identities.
