how Chronical of a death fortold is illogical

The title of Gabriel Garcia's novel seems to be illogical. A chronicle is detailed narrative record or report of ordered events, and to foretell is to tell of or indicate beforehand, or to predict. A chronicle is an ordered set of events leading up to a result, to foretell of what a chronicle leads up to skips the order in which the chronicle goes. knowing the result before it actually happens interferes with the order.
