What is the author's style in Big Blonde by Dorothy Parker?

The story is told through omniscient third person narration. This means that a narrator who is not a character in the story describes Mrs. Morse's life, and that this narrator has access to her inner thoughts and feelings. This form of narration is critical to the story, since how Mrs. Morse appears to those around her is so very different from how the omniscient narrator shows her to be internally. Through this gap or difference, the third person omniscient narration creates the effect of alienation, which is a crucial part of Mrs. Morse's characterization.
