dc.description This paper explores the search for identity, displacement and belonging in Allen Sawaya’s Destined to Fame. The novel destined to fame depicts the world as a site of horror and interrogates the way the notions of identity, displacement and belonging affect an individual. In the novel, Sawaya emphasizes that the notions of identity, displacement and belonging are shaped by social and political situations which in turn result into emotional experiences or attachment to the affected individual. Through the protagonist William Forster- an African adopted child living in the UK, this paper argues that even though an individual can belong to the world but that individual can not belong home. This paper uses the postcolonial theory because the issues of identity, displacement or unhomliness and belonging are central topics in postcolonial thoughts.
