What is the narrator point of view in the book, Having and Being Had?

This book integrates personal perspectives as well as larger societal contexts, with an aim of highlighting the inherent connections between individual experiences and collective dynamics. Biss includes personal anecdotes—either from her own life or from the lives of people she knows personally—in almost every chapter. These personal anecdotes help to highlight the fact that all large-scale socioeconomic dynamics are rooted in various ways within personal experiences and actions, and that those personal actions can affect the overarching ideas and trends. This integration of perspectives functions in part to compel the reader to consider their own experiences in relation to larger causes/dynamics.
