Abstract
In this paper, I try to support Gerard Genette's conception of focalization, that was first proposed by him in his book <i>Narrative Discourse</i> (1980). Focalization is known as the perspective of the narrator in fiction. It includes a comparative study of layers of focalization in multicultural perspectives by analysing the narratological techniques in two of the most controversial novels. Those novels represent two worlds apart; one is AlaaAlaswany芒聙聶s<i>Yacobian Building</i> and the other is Malcolm Lowry芒聙聶s <i>Under the Volcano</i>. In both novels, the narrators are absent from the two stories told. These narrators are depersonalized and they are lacking definable personalities and opinions.
