the aesthetics of the narrative in the Algerian very short story "a man not loved by the sea” by Zinedine boumerzouk

Abstract

The very short story is not just a narrative written in a few pages, but rather it is a mode of expression of modern literature that has certain formal characteristics and features that are designed to explore the mundane realities of life. The density of the plot of the short story allow the short story writer to capture the moment without the details that might overburden the narrative which could weaken the aesthetic effect of the text. The Algerian short story did not receive enough attention, spread, and media and critical circulation. We try here to review the exceptional experience of the Algerian short story writer Zinedine Boumerzouk by providing a critical reading of his collection of short story "Sea, Pardon me” and we will focus on one of its most brilliant texts, the short story "A Man not Loved by the Sea
