The purpose of this paper is to identify the narrative procedures in Frosina Parmakovska's novels: »Writing the Lost Balls« (2013), »The Cherry's Chronicle« (2014) and »Countdown« (2017). Narratology is a literary-theoretical discipline whose purpose is to discover some kind of grammar of literary procedures in storytelling. Accordingly, the essential elements od each prose work are: thee, idea, fable, characters, description, action, time space and narrator which can subsequently be subdivided into three different discourses (this model was set by Gerard Genette): level of story, level of discourse 1 and level od discourse 2. Initially, in order to establish a narratological model of the aforementioned novels, the basic narrative elements will be defined first, followed by an analysis of each novel individually according to the given model by Gerard Genette. Some other features will be also mentioned, such as: the use of conversational vocabular, dialects and vulgarisms, the emergence of crime section news in the novel »The Cherry's chronicle« and the transition period in Macedonia.
