Apparently, Ali is not present in this part of the story. Instead, Parvez
observes changes in his son’s behaviour and lifestyle and decides
to search Ali’s room. Typically for a short story, the action begins in
medias res. It starts at a point when important events have already
happened. The reader can easily recognise that father and son are
drifting apart. Throughout the beginning, Parvez contrasts his son’s
old life with his new one.
Hanif Kureishi’s short story “My Son the Fanatic”, published in
1997, presents the problems faced by first and second-generation
immigrants in the UK. The author portrays the different values,
beliefs and lifestyles of father and son and the conflict that develops
between them.
