What is the narrator point of view in the novel, Correspondents?

Murphy uses a third person omniscient narrator in Correspondents. This narrative stance allows Murphy to span great lengths of time in the novel, starting in 1912 and narrating up to the present day. The narrative stance also allows an in-depth look at the varied lives and perspectives in the novel in a way that is not compromised by the subject position of a first-person narrator. The third person omniscient narrator is able to tell the stories of both Iraqis and Americans with ease in the novel.
