What is the author's style in Aura by Carlos Fuentes?

The book is written from the uncommon second-person perspective. This perspective is used effectively to make the reader feel like a part of the dream-like environment Fuentes creates. The other perspectives, first- and third-person, all put the reader into the role of an observer to someone else's actions and thoughts. However, in a dream there cannot be an observer; there is only the dreamer. Thus, in "Aura," the reader is made the sole person experiencing the story as it unfolds.
