THE CREATION MYTH AND ITS PASSAGES INTO TIME LOOP TRANSGRESSIONS in CARTARESCU's SOLENOID

Summary/Abstract: Solenoid, Mircea Cărtărescu's most recent book (2015), is the universe of abominable rupture, a universe of the mind, of the lost connection with the myths of childhood and of the disenchantment of the myth of the self. Dream is the only possible escape from the prison of our mind, as the writer says. The main theme of Solenoid, Mircea Cărtărescu's newest prose, is finding the exit of human existence into another dimension. Solenoid gives the feeling that the limits of human pain are the limits of universe. The first attempt to find an exit is through the subcutaneous world, at the border between human and subhuman, in a world of impossible mirrors. Labyrinth is the secret place where life and death, mortality and immortality can be aligned in a tesseract, in an attempt of human being to transcend the three dimensions and find the fourth one, the perpendicular exit into the universe and the possibility to have our eyes in the eyes of our creator.
