Addendum from a Modernist artist, Paul Klee: 
"There is a striving to emphasize the essential character of the accidental."

The 'and who did he run into next' way of moving the plot along in AtD has been commented

But, with chance as an overt theme throughout, does this stylistic trope mirror that purposely
or did TRP just get lucky by the meaning of words?
