Bijou De asked Jim Lynch:

hi sir,can you tell me the diferents roles of narrators in a fiction ?

Jim Lynch Well, that's a good question that requires a long answer. But the short one I'd give is that the narrator is usually a first-person point of view, so the "I" voice. And that narrator's role is usually to tell you the story from their vantage. Preferably, they are someone readers will want to hang out with for a few hundred pages. There are also omniscient narrators who feel free to tell the story from everybody's view, including a more remote, pulled back God-like sort of narration. And there are more invisible narrators who simply put you in a character or characters heads and get out of the way.
