Station Eleven question

Is there anyone else out there who loves everything about Station Eleven (the book) EXCEPT the “Flip Flopping Back and Forth In Time” structure?

Don’t get me wrong - I think non-linear narratives can work when used sparingly or with short chapters (such as in All The Light We Cannot See).

But I think Emily St. James over-did it with this writing technique in Station Eleven, to the point where the plot was unnecessarily fragmented.

If anyone else thinks this story might have been better told in chronological order: Don’t worry - I’ve done it for you.

Here’s “Station Eleven” in chronological order (more or less):

* Chapters 13, 14, 15, and 27 (Arthur’s Back Story)

* Chapter 17 (Arthur’s Dinner With Clark)

* Chapter 26 (Gossip Book about Arthur comes out)

* Chapter 25 (Some of the Letters in the Gossip Book)

* Chapter 39 (Miranda Visits Arthur)

* Chapter 53 (Arthur’s Last Day)

* Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 (Arthur’s Death and Beginning of Pandemic)

* Chapters 28, 29, 30, 32, 34, and 36 (Immediate Aftermath of Pandemic)

* Chapters 40 and 41 (Spread of the Pandemic and Miranda’s Illness)

* Chapter 54 (Miranda’s Last Moments)

* Chapters 42, 43, and 44 (Establishment of the Airport Settlement)

* Chapters 16, 18, 21, 31, 33, 35, 37, 45, 46, and 47 (All Snippets of Kirsten’s Interview with the Newspaper Editor, Year 15; Introduction of The Traveling Symphony)

* Chapters 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (Year 20, The Traveling Symphony’s Arrival at St. Deborah by the Water)

* Chapters 19, 20, 22, 23, 24, and 49 (Separation of the Traveling Symphony)
