Gnostic Myth-Making...?

[Lemuel Underwing]

So if Miss Hume is convincing in her argument that one of Pynchon's main
stabilizing functions is his Myth-Making (and I think she is), and
furthermore that it is a type of Gnostic Myth with a Twist, who are other
Gnostic Myth-Makers if there are any?

The most apparent is the awesome John Crowley, whose work I have been
immersed in for the better part of 2013: *Little, Big* , *The Solitudes ,
and Love & Sleep *namely... tho' it seems he has read *The Crying of Lot
49  *I mean *really *read it I don't think he goes much beyond it...
obsessing as I do after anything called Gnostic once who are the other
authors that may, however one attempts to stretch the term, be called
Gnostic in their ability to spin new Mythos of the sort Pynchon weaves?

I haven't tried anything by Saramago...?
