Abstract

Ikramullah is a well-known Urdu fiction writer known for his unique style. One of his characteristics is his deep observation of daily life and its small details, which examples are rarely found in Urdu fiction. His writing feels alive and full of energy, whether he's depicting someone's destiny, exploring their personality, or telling stories of love. Be they urban scenarios or escalating violence, images of despair or instances of magical realism, or plain realism. He never hesitates to have the last word in his narrative, especially at crucial moments where others act reluctantly, he walks with great confidence and courage. Overall, Ikramullah's work leaves a strong impression on readers with its vivid portrayal of life's intricacies. After Ikramullah, we will talk about Muhammad Asim Butt. Asim Butt is considered among the writers of modern thought. In his fiction, he has tried to see the existential problems of modern man in the background of urban life. Contemporary consciousness is evident in his art and his stories are a reflection of modern human problems. Most of his characters are forced to live in a fantasy world away from reality where they satisfy their unsatisfied desires. We can say that Asim Butt's stories deal with the problems faced by individuals in the modern era such as the helplessness of the individual, loneliness, his retreat at the hands of destiny, economic and social oppression, monotony of life, meaninglessness, fear, illusion and indolence. We can say that the fictions of Asim Butt have an existential impression on which the influence of the German writer Franz Kafka can be clearly seen.
