What is the author's style in The Accident by Elie Wiesel?

The most notable linguistic choice Wiesel makes in his novel is his decision not to give a name to his protagonist until well into the book. Even then, when the character says his name, it is in the context of a mantra he's been taught to repeat. He is told that when he dies, he must tell the angel that comes for him that his name is Eliezer and his mother is Sarah. When he recalls this directive, readers hear his name for the first and only time. Thereafter, he once again becomes nameless. This is one of the keys to the story. It may even be the point of it.
