Narration Traps “Tricks” in Youssef Al-Mohaymeed’s Novel Smell Traps

The novel (Smell Traps) is one of the important novels that are full of different narrative traps and visions. In this novel, Yousef Al-Muhaimid could highlight the marginalized by give them the leading role after their long suffering from oblivion and deprivation. It is characterized by a narrative style that tends to postpone information and deceive cunningly to show it. We found this technique at the beginning and the end of the novel, its events and characters. This research consists of an introduction, a preface, three chapters and a conclusion. The introduction contains: the reasons for choosing the topic, its importance, the study plan, previous studies, and the research methodology. The preface is entitled: Al-Muhaimid and the Smell Traps. The first chapter is entitled: Narrative Form and the Threshold Trap. The second chapter: Event Traps. The third chapter: Character Traps. The conclusion came with the most important results and recommendations, including: Al-Muhaimid possessed many narrative tools and different visions, and his speech was experimentally booby-trapped, carrying a lot of fraud and hiding behind the lines, as it is not a preaching sermon from the pulpit, but rather a speech hidden behind the text, which the recipient must search for in order to obtain it.
