Hossein Sanapour’s semi-absent novel is one of the significant literal works that was written in
the late 80s. In this work, Sanapour has attempted to make a narrative of several characters in
the late sixties nearly most of these characters were somehow in keeping with the cultural, social
and political atmosphere of Iran in the sixties and the cultural-social order rising 57 Revolution.
In terms of the narrative methods and techniques, semi-absent novels are fallen within modern
novels. Various ways of narrating and distancing from the linear time of the narrative in classic
works, his polyphony of narrative form, using new ways of narrating stories and such factors
have caused capacities of semi-absent novels to be significant narratologically. In this research,
by focusing on narrative traits of this work, it will be attempted to reflecting on prevailing
narrative techniques in the semi-absent novel by using narratological theory of Gerard Genette.
In this research, it is assumed that Sanapour can could create a work through representing
modern approaches to the narrative that correspond narratological standards of the modern age
and these narrative traits can be explained by the theory of Gerard Genette.
