What is the author's style in the novel, The Wrong End of the Telescope?

The overall structure of The Wrong End of the Telescope is loose and informal. The novel is not divided into parts but only into 87 titled chapters of varying length. The free-form nature of Alameddine’s story reflects the uncertain, disorganized, and transitory nature of many of its characters and situations. Much of the plot revolves around the idea of motion and exchange: Mina, a transgender woman and immigrant, has traveled long distances literally and metaphorically in her life, and her journey to Lesbos brings her into contact with many displaced an marginalized people. In their lack of clear organizational structure, the chapters, which are narrated by Mina but include many backstories of other characters and represent many points of view, give the impression of being shuffled together in various combinations to call attention to certain commonalities and relationships.
