Abstract
What is at stake when we write about near-death? This essay engages with the temporal repercussions—a radical “time out of joint”—that the event of near-death opens up. It explores how Maurice Blanchot (in The Instant of My Death) and Don DeLillo (in Falling Man) attempt to write the instance of remaining through the creative use and transgressive play of language and grapple with the radical uncertainty of surviving death.
