The point of view in The Finkler Question is third person and omniscient. This is demonstrated by the fact that the narrator is able to report on the thoughts and emotions of all the characters, in addition to the actual events which take place. Jacobson equally distributes dialogue and exposition, which is beneficial to readers since it allows them to see what characters truly believe and how they feel about certain things which is frequently not the same as what they tell their friends.
