VLVL2 (9): The Past in VL

[Tim Strzechowski]

144.6:  "[Takeshi] had arrived now at the bottom of the strange crater, far below sea level, after long detours and a sense of time forever lost. . . ."


As KFL states:
 
°°° Vineland is about conflicting efforts to reconstruct the 1960s as an imaginary object --

KFL +  

 
and I wonder if this "sense of time lost forever" doesn't indeed suggest this notion.


In what ways do the characters attempt to "reconstruct the 1960s"?

Is a reconstruction merely an "imaginary object" in this context?
