VLVL2 (9): Reality vs. Illusion

[Tim Strzechowski]

144.10:  "Looking up, Takeshi could no longer see the rim he'd descended from."

and

144.28:  "Whatever Minoru may have replied was lost in a sudden downrush of noise, a terrific roaring . . . Everybody had been fooled!"


In both instances, the reality vs. illusion motif is obvious, although the latter example echoes the "royalty in the carriage" and the "skywriting" scenes found early in Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.  (Woolf was mentioned in an earlier post.)
