Have you read Adverbs by Daniel Handler? It's sort of the same, in that it's a pile of short stories that all interconnect in various ways. (They're not quite interleaved like that, though.) The stories are all out of order, and slightly (and purposefully) inconsistent. And there's a volcano.
Handler's writing style is... I don't even have a good way to describe it. It's quirky and weird and rambly and yet manages to plug right into some emotional section of the brain.
