What is the narrator point of view in the story, The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad?

The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad reworks the Sinbad story in three texts threaded together simultaneously. The first text is the tale told in the third person, a lush story of adventure and romance. The second text is a scholarly gloss on the story, providing a textual study and possible interpretations, placing the story in literary history. The third text is told in the first person, from the point of view of Sinbad himself. It is a conversion narrative, a story of the journey towards God through hardship and suffering. Millhauser again plays with interpretation here, offering several possible ways of telling a very old story.
