Clearly marked in contemporary literature, the “animal turn” translates into the fictionalization of animal presence and the exploration of literary strategies to best represent the living world. Among these processes, animal narration serves the goals of ecological fiction: unnatural from the standpoint of classical narratology, it enables a departure from the anthropocentric perspective, broadens our perception of reality, and invites a rethinking of our relationship with the surrounding world. This article examines this narrative mode in two animal autobiographies – Les neuf consciences du Malfini by Patrick Chamoiseau and Nés de la nuit by Caroline Audibert – and analyzes its mechanisms to understand how unnatural narration challenges our conceptions of the world and works toward the protection of nature.
