What is the author's style in Taft by Ann Patchett?

Taft is, by and large, told from a first person point-of-view. This vantage is that of John Nickel, a former blues drummer in his thirties living in Memphis in the late 1980s. As such, the entire relation of the narrative is colored by his point-of-view, though it is a point of view that is relatively trustworthy.
