A Study of Personal Narrative Styles in the Novels, Bioten by Reza Amirkhani and The Yacoubian building by Alaa Al-Aswany

The two novels are very similar in structure and content and have a strong connotation because of reason and the causal relationships. The narrative structure of time in both is circular, nonlinear and lacks proper order and sequence, which leads to anachronism. The use of temporal summaries in both works has given rise to short frequency. Aswany and Amirkhani, with their inner focalization.
