Narrative typology studies and classifies different types of narratives and their specific characteristics, serving as one of the key topics in narratology that analyzes the relationships among the narrator, the actant, and the audience. In this context, Jaap Lintvelt introduces narrative types based on the functional opposition between the narrator and the actant and defines it as discourse typology. The novel Dar Keshvar-e Digar by Spojmai Zariab is a notable example of Afghanistan’s intercultural literature, which, through diverse narrative techniques, represents lived experiences in two distinct societies. By creating an emotional and psychological atmosphere, the novel portrays the connections between characters and the socio-cultural context with a humanistic and impactful approach, reflecting the cultural differences between East and West. This study, using a descriptive-analytical method and based on Jaap Lintvelt’s theory, examines and analyzes the narrative types and functional types of authorial discourse in this novel. The findings indicate that this literary work is written using the homogenous authorial narrative type. The application of the character-narrator perspective, along with communicative, interpretive metanarrative, explanatory, evaluative, and emotional discourses, enhances the understanding of the characters and highlights cultural, social, and identity-based contrasts between East and West, fostering a deeper sense of empathy in the reader toward the narrated situations.
