Abstract
This essay analyses the poetics of displacement found in three works by three authors born in India and writing in English: Rudyard Kipling’s The Man Who Would Be King and Other Stories, Salman Rushdie’s East, West, and Anita Desai’s Fasting, Feasting. Focusing on the aspects of harmony, credibility and metafiction in these works, I will outline how these authors with very different backgrounds but a common “double unbelonging” have succeeded in offering their readers a consciousness of displacement and disruption which has become the driving energy that migrants and migrant literatures have offered to the world.
