Mimic Men Time Line

I had difficulty following the modernistic fractured narrative of our current novel's rewinds and fast forwards.  I really appreciated Julie Meloni’s helpful construction of a time line for Wide Sargasso Sea, so I put this one together for V.S. Naipaul’s The Mimic Men from various dates, ages, and time spans I found in the text:
