Novel
Drama
Most of The English Patient is told from the third-person omniscient point of view, focusing on the perspectives of various characters. Occasionally the narration shifts to the first-person point of view of the English patient.
The English Patient is written in both the present and past tenses as it describes both present events in the villa and past events from the lives of the characters.
The English Patient refers to the nickname of the main character—a burn victim whose identity is erased by his injuries, as well as by his desire for anonymity.
