This paper discusses the literary technique Defamiliarization and its use by Amit Chaudhuri in his novels. Defamiliarization is a literary technique that compels readers to see the commonplace, known things in a weird and unfamiliar way. Indian novelist Amit Chaudhuri makes his novels praiseworthy and attention-grabbing by using the technique of defamiliarization, even when there are no gripping stories to tell, no momentous events to describe and no emotional outbursts. The way he defamiliarizes the ordinary, common and predictable, and brings to the fore his poetic sensibility and acumen stirs the unexciting and snoozing responsiveness of the reader to the beauty of the daily life that surrounds them.
