What is the author's style in Remembering Babylon by David Malouf?

"Remembering Babylon" is told in the second person. The story is about an English boy named Gemmy who is taken in by the aborigines and later tries to return to his old culture. It shows how shortsighted the colonists' views are in settling Queensland and how little they regarded what already existed there. Gemmy manages to touch the lives of many people and awakens them to what is around them before he returns to the aborigines.
