Summary/Abstract: The paper expands upon a parallel interdisciplinary approach to Martin Amis’ Time’s Arrow and Rodica Ojog-Brașoveanu’s Devilish Plan via George Kelly’s Personal Construct Theory with a view to showing how, through the innovative postmodern techniques of fast rewind, on the one hand, and irony, stream of consciousness, inner monologue, reverse chronology, on the other, the two novelists have imaginatively recreated and refreshed the old topic related to the atrocities from the concentration camps in order to teach their contemporary readers a moral lesson.
