Most of the narrative is written in the third-person, but many passages employ a disjointed stream-ofconsciousness technique to evoke the emotional trauma and social fragmentation that result from such events as Michael Chandal's death, Jakob Daw's fate, Davita's recovery from her suicide attempt, and her perceptions of her mother's nervous collapse. The thirdperson narrative is broken only by these passages and by occasional passages of quasi stream-of-consciousness, in which experiences belonging to the mystical and imaginative worlds are related.
