In the first paragraph of the novel the author uses a first person point of view to disclose that the protagonist, August Pullman, has some sort of facial deformity as he wishes that “I had a normal face that no one ever notices at all” (3).

For example, the refering to the Bible by way of a passing reference in “All I Wanted To Do Was Dance” shows Victor in a religious light, comparing him to a significant figure in the Bible.
