Did you ever read Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut? The way its told is as a sort of meandering recollection of events from a single narrator's POV. But he doesn't tell the story in anything close to a linear fashion. He jumps back and forth from event to event, constantly referencing stuff that happens elsewhere in the story as if he's already told you, but he hasn't. You spend the entire book just waiting for him to finally just lay out a concise series of events, but he never does. And yet, somehow, by the end of the book you basically have the whole picture. It's told in a completely scattershot way, and you're left to piece a lot of it together for yourself, but it's all there.

The written word and visual media work very differently when it comes to storytelling…

It's all very haphazard and messy, but there is an actual sense of history starting to come together. Not "lore", but history that we are directly a part of.

Sounds about right. :-p
