Abdulrazak Gurnah,in The Last Gift,employs delicate prose and masterful narrative techniques to portray the complex figure of the aphasic within an immigrant family.The protagonist Abbas's silence is not only a manifestation of his identity crisis but al-so a symbol of his silent resistance against multiple societal pressures.Gurnah uses silence as a narrative device to delve into the inter-nal struggles of the aphasic,skillfully revealing their covert quest for selfhood and resistance to oppression.Through his unique depiction of silence,quietude,and defiance,Gurnah exposes the tragic fate of the diaspora,offering a fresh perspective on the mechanisms of iden-tity construction and resistance in migrant literature.This approach not only endows the aphasic with profound symbolic meaning but al-so enhances the emotional tension and narrative depth of the novel.
