This study is on the narrative techniques of Unimna Angrey’s literary oeuvre L’Exil du Greyan (Greyan’s exile), where the techniques play a crucial role in crafting a rich and emotionally resonant reading experience, prompting deep reflection on the human condition in relation to exile and identity. His narrative style works the reader through the emotional tortures of the hero and emphasizes his personal battles, thereby creating an atmosphere of despair and helplessness in the face of societal expectations. The objective of this study is to analyze the narrative techniques used in the corpus in order to be able to understand how the author tells the story and how it affects the reader. The analysis of narrative techniques such as point of view, tone, writing style, characters, themes, and events will help determine how the author conveys ideas and emotions and how this contributes to the overall understanding of the novel. The study concluded that analyzing the narrative techniques used in the book, particularly point of view, characters, setting, and style helps the reader to gain a more distinct understanding of the authorial intention and enhances the readability of the work.
