This study undertakes a comparative analysis of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go and Valeria Luiselli's Lost Children Archive, both in terms of their treatment of the related themes of silence, exile, and belonging in contemporary literary discourse. Ishiguro's dystopian fiction presents a picture of cloned children living in a controlled environment in England, meant to donate their organs, while Luiselli's politicised fiction deals with the issue of migrant children in the border region between Mexico and the U.S. Although both fictions differ in genre, location, and narrative style, they both examine the ways in which human life is controlled and regulated. Drawing on the works of psychology, trauma, and biopolitics, this study argues that silence in both novels does not simply refer to the absence of speech but, in fact, refers to a structural condition created by power relations. In Never Let Me Go, silence is internalized and becomes a form of emotional survival that works against rebellion, despite the partial revelation of the truth. The compliance of the clones with their predetermined fate, for instance, demonstrates the nuanced violence of institutional power, where belonging is meticulously crafted but remains conditional in its very construction. Memory, especially in relation to Kathy's narrative, appears as a tenuous substitute for freedom, an intimate space wherein dignity and identity are maintained. In contrast, Lost Children Archive understands silence as something enforced through politics. The voicelessness of the migrant children is caused by the borders and the legal system. The multi-layered narrative of Luiselli, who uses documentation and testimony in the narrative, is reminiscent of the fragmentary experience of the migrant communities. Exile is understood here as physical and generational rather than existential. Belonging is still tenuous and filtered through narrative. The act of archiving is understood here as an ethical imperative and a form of resistance to the politics of disappearance. Through the juxtaposition of the two works, the study reveals the manner in which contemporary fiction brings together dystopian fantasy and political realism to address the concerns that are shared in terms of vulnerability, precarity, and the value of human life. The two works follow the trajectory of innocence to revelation, constructed belonging to irrevocable exile, and finally, the rejection of incendiary revolt in favor of endurance and the preservation of the narrative. This juxtaposition situates literature as a key site to explore the manner in which the individual navigates identity in terms of systems that commodify, displace, and silence them. In an interdisciplinary dialogue with psychoanalysis, trauma studies, and migration studies literature, this study seeks to make an additional contribution to the scholarly discussions on marginality, memory, and ethics in twenty-first-century literature. The study contends that while Ishiguro and Luiselli write from different contexts, they share a common emphasis on the human affirmation of storytelling, in terms of memory or documentation
