Dying: A Memoir is told from the first-person perspective, as befitting the memoir genre which Cory Taylor chose to follow upon writing the book. It jumps back and forth between the past and present but is always narrated self-consciously by Taylor herself. She is in many ways the main character of the book, since it is told from her perspective and is supposed to be about her own life, yet Taylor chooses to speak more about other people, in particular her mother and father, than she speaks about her own life. Her narration is key to understanding the various relationships between her family members and her own relationship with them as well.
