What is the author's style in Collected Short Stories by Graham Greene?

In this collection of stories, the author employs first person narrative, third person narrative, third person subjective, and third person omniscient. In one story, The Other Side of the Border, he uses alternating person view, moving the plot forward from the view of Hands, Morrow, Billings, and Colley.

The stories that are written in first person narrative are usually the thoughts of a man who is a reporter or a writer. Sometimes the reader learns his name, and sometimes not. The exception to the male first person narrator in Cheap in August, when the narrator speaking in first person is a woman named Mary Stewart. There is one other story in the collection where the main character is told by a woman, An Appointment With the General, which is told in third person subjective.

Many of the stories are told in first person narrative, yet relate a conversation overheard at a restaurant on a rainy English night. Examples of this type are The Invisible Japanese Gentlemen and Chagrin in Three Parts. The story begins with why the narrator is near the subjects, then is a series of observations of the speakers and their dialogue. The story ends with the narrator's final reaction to the words and actions by these unknown people.

The stories written in third person subjective are seen through the eyes of a main character. In A Discovery in the Woods there is a gang of children, but Peter is the one who drives the plot. The main characters are predominantly men interacting with other men, with the females as minor characters.
