Oral Narrative Techniques In Les Soleils Des Independences And Allah H’estpas Oblige

This paper considers the first ever novel and the last one published by the Ivorian author, Ahmadou kourouma before his death, in a stylistic comparative exposition. While most other research works seem to see a stylistic distance between these two works, this paper has been able to establish a rapprochement by unearthing the salient oral narrative techniques employed by the author in the two fictions. Hence, rather than being poles apart, this research study has proved that a common flavour of orality sustains artistic creativity in both narrations.
