utilizing the narrative storytelling technique of putting parts out of order was my first assumption, I mean when I first read the author's note, he gave a brief summary about the novel, and then started to read the first chapter. After reading the first chapter, I understood about 40% of story as John does not include much details about Alex's journey. However, When I started reading chapters 2 and 3 I was expecting him to go on with the story and tell what happens next with Alex after he is dropped off by Gallien,
But he starts to explain something else when he goes back and talks about the history of Alaska Range and how some projects were undertaken there. Then he starts to speak about Alex again and his calm town in much more details. In my perspective, this kind of storytelling confuses me since it is not presented directly and not in a logical sequence.
But my assumption might change after finishing the novel......................who knows?!
