ABSTRACT
Pakistani anglophone literature, with its evolving aesthetic and generic complexity, displays a rich kaleidoscope of works exemplifying the curatorial, normative, and extensive dialogic standards, is certainly on an epochal itinerary of canon formation. A literature that is in fact a product of multi-ethnic, multilingual, transnational, transcultural, and trans-local literary traditions of Pakistan, the subcontinent, and the Muslim world (and also in dialogue with anglophone literatures from around the world) is urgently in need of recognition as a distinct literary tradition to let all the discordant chords be heard and form a unique canonical symphony, aka Brand Pakistan.
