What is the author's style in The Electric Michelangelo by Sarah Hall?

The Electric Michelangelo is narrated anonymously in the third person, past tense. The author inserts herself into the text and never suggests any source of information for the story she tells. Hall writes in rich, fluid contemporary British English that deserves to be not just read but truly savored. Flirting with poetry, it is richly textured with striking metaphors and similes and non-stop, sometimes rapid-fire allusions to art, literature, history, baseball, world religions, chess and tattooing.
