In this story, the author follows a similarity between the story of Jonah the Prophet and a clergy named Youness. He follows the evolution of Youness's character inspired by a Quranic story, and in this way makes his reader interested in a good story. The story is narrated from God's view (the omnipotent), who tries to cite the slightest movements and states of the characters in the story. The story is linear, but sometimes the Om-nipotent enters Youness’s mind and in flashbacks goes back to the days spent with his daughter and the memories he retrieves. As the way in which the Omnipotent enters Younes's mind is without warning, the reader does not perceive this act of Youness’s meditation and journey into the self. One of the beauties of the book is how the writer tries to show the language, dialect and the accent (rural pronunciation) of the villagers. The design of the novel, “Named Youness”, is a brilliant and interesting idea, and the author has been able to explain to the reader the benefits of the story of Youness, the Prophet, about the existential nature of man and his various aspects.
