James Joyce and Joseph Conrad as modernism writers have much concerned in aesthetic detachment in their composition of fiction. The aesthetic detachment is closely related to the narrative technique. This study is aimed to investigate the narrative technique in James Joyce's Dubliners and Joseph conrad's Lord Jim. In Dubliners, James Joyce never intrudes his authorial voice into the narrative and makes a character his or her situation by adapting a character-centered style. In Lord Jim, Joseph Conrad can achieve the aesthetics of detachment by making the narrator, Marlow, narrate the story and conveying the multiple points of views about Jim's case. By using these narrative techniques, Joyce and Conrad make the reader see the character's hidden truth and reality without passing their moral comment on characters in their works such as Dubliners and Lord Jim.
