Defamiliarization, as a category for books, refers to a literary technique that presents familiar objects, concepts, or experiences in an unfamiliar or strange way to provoke a fresh perspective and deeper understanding. This genre challenges readers to see the world anew by disrupting conventional perceptions and interpretations, often through innovative narrative structures, unique language use, or unconventional storytelling methods. Books in this category aim to unsettle the reader's habitual ways of thinking, encouraging them to question the ordinary and explore the extraordinary within the mundane. By doing so, defamiliarization not only enhances the aesthetic experience but also invites critical reflection on societal norms, cultural assumptions, and personal beliefs.
