Terrorism and Temporality in the Works of Thomas Pynchon and Don
DeLillo starts from a simple premise: that the events of the 11th
of September 2001 must have had a major effect on two New York
residents, and two of the seminal authors of American letters,
Pynchon and DeLillo. By examining implicit and explicit allusion to
these events in their work, it becomes apparent that both consider
9/11 a crucial event, and that it has profoundly impacted their
work. From this important point, the volume focuses on the major
change identifiable in both authors' work; a change in the
perception, and conception, of time. This is not, however, a simple
change after 2001. It allows, at the same time, a re-examination of
both authors work, and the acknowledgment of time as a crucial
concept to both authors throughout their careers. Engaging with
several theories of time, and their reiteration and examination in
both authors' work, this volume contributes both to the
understanding of literary time, and to the work of Pynchon and
DeLillo.
