The story comes from the point of view of the narrator; the action is conveyed in the third person as in a majority of conventional novels. This method works well to lead the reader through the various contortions of time and space that serve as the landscape for the action. The reader gets a sense that the narrator really knows more about the story than anyone else and is the best source for unraveling the overlapping layers of time, locale and characters.
