Abstract
The aim of the present study is to explore the notion of
reclamation of the lost grandeur of home in the symbolic
representation of the city Karachi in the novel The Selected Works
of Abdullah the Cossack (2019) written by H.M Naqvi. The textual
analysis uses the theoretical framework taken from Homi K
Bhabha's postcolonial concept of 'unhomeliness'. The Selected
Works of Abdullah the Cossack (2019) is selected as a frame of
reference for the purpose of study. The aim is to see how
literature has hailed the past glories of the city and it is
concluded from the analysis that through personification,
symbolism, cultural markers and language used the author tries
to regain the nostalgic glory that was once associated with the
city and which thus provided the sense of pride and
belongingness as home
