In this book, Steve Gronert Ellerhoff explores short stories by Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut, written between 1943 and 1968, with a post-Jungian approach. Drawing upon archetypal theories of myth from Joseph Campbell, James Hillman and their forbearer C. G. Jung, Ellerhoff demonstrates how short fiction follows archetypal patterns that can illuminate our understanding of the authors, their times, and their culture. In practice, a post-Jungian mythodology is shown to yield great insights for the literary criticism of short fiction.

Chapters in this volume carefully contextualise and historicize each story, including Bradbury and Vonneguts earliest and most imaginatively fantastic works. The archetypal constellations shaping Vonneguts early works are shown to be war and fragmentation, while those in Bradburys are family and the wholeness of the sun. Analysis is complemented by the explored significance of illustrations that featured alongside the stories in their first publications. By uncovering the ways these popular writers redressed old myths in new tropesand coined new narrative elements for hopes and fears born of their erathe book reveals a fresh method which can be applied to all imaginative short stories, increasing understanding and critical engagement.
