What techniques were used in "The Unfortunates" in order to allow the story to be read in random order?

Question

In reading the book "The Unfortunates," you are directed by the book's instructions to literally mix the chapters together, excepting the first and last chapter.This creates an interesting phenomenon, where the story becomes very personalized to you. Additionally, somewhat oddly, it appears that the story works and flows well no matter how you shuffle it around. Each part of the story is a short vignette, but it's not as though nothing happens in these sections. They're only vaguely disjoint, and it actually surprised me on many occasions when sections seemed to flow straight into each other. This is more than coincidence.What techniques were employed in this book to make it so easily readable in random order?

Answer 1

The Vinette or short story for each section is complete hus allowing a a reader to see each section as a complete and independent entity.
