Faulkner vs. Pynchon

[Dave Monroe]

“The past is never dead. It's not even the past.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem_for_a_Nun

"'Temporal bandwidth,' is the width of your present, your now. It is
the familiar '∆ t' considered as a dependent variable. The more you
dwell in the past and in the future, the thicker your bandwidth, the
more solid your persona. But the narrower your sense of Now, the more
tenuous you are."
