The present essay aims to use the descriptive-analytical method by enumerating three important components of narrative in the genre of memory, i.e. "the use of the narrative self", "emphasis on the narrator instead of the hero-cultivation" and "increasing the volume of descriptions instead of events and incidents". ", to measure and evaluate how the narrative departs from this conventional rule in the book of Memoirs of Ahmed Benbouleh, a famous Algerian fighter. It should be mentioned that each of the different narrative genres have specific narrative coordinates and the metaphor of the coordinates of other genres in memory can be analyzed in interdisciplinary researches. In fact, in the contemporary era, by examining the interplay of genres, borrowing the characteristics of one genre and literary style in another literary type, a widely used case in the direction of breaking the borders and lines between genres, draws attention, and in the meantime, memory is also It borrows the narrative features of other genres. The findings of the research show that the narrative in Ahmed Benblah's memoirs has gone beyond its conventional structure and moved towards the form of a novel in narrative and epic, and this song is memorable because of the dynamics of the character, the theme of struggle, and the shortness of time.
