Abstract
Abdulrazak Gurnah is well known as a contemporary novelist of diaspora and in the present paper I revisit this familiar ground, looking creatively at his multiple locations across texts and genres. By shifting attention from the central reputation of his novels towards a more scattered range of materials, I enable a fresh take on received understandings of the writer's interest in migration and displacement. The intention is to motivate for a restless, migratory aesthetic response to Gurnah. The approach is admittedly quirky, but it has the advantage of being open to the dispersed, mediated forms and locations of Gurnah's authorial performance and personae, arriving at an expanded, mobile assemblage of co-ordinates which begins to suggest how ‘Abdulrazak Gurnah’ is positioned in contemporary cultural discourse.
