Abstract
This study is based on Abbas Khider's fictional autobiographical novel "Slap in the Face," and the primary focus of this research is on the predicament of refugees in overseas asylums and countries from the viewpoint of a refugee named "Karim Mensy," who fled his country owing to war, strife, fear of rape, and prejudice in search of a better life. This research is also carried out by push and pull factor migration. Khider also makes an effort to describe not only his or their efforts to obtain a residence permit, a job, and money but also the behaviour of the locals toward the refugees. From Karim's experience, when they are helpless and fall under suspicion, the locals blow them up and torture them while they struggle to survive
