Summary/Abstract: ‘A loud cry crossed the night’ — ‘A screaming comes across the sky’: Rushdie advises on moving back in time and recuperating the past to be alive again, gravitating towards reality in order to redefine oneself, whereas Pynchon lucidly witnesses no consciousness of any time, gravitating against reality with the promise of constructing oneself.
