β¦ Synopsis
Before he was the engaging professor who brought mythology into peoples living rooms through his conversations with Bill Moyers, before he became known as the thinker whose ideas influenced Star Wars, and before his now-beloved phrase follow your bliss entered the popular lexicon, Joseph Campbell was a young man who tried his hand at writing fiction. At the age of twenty-nine, after years of Depression-era unemployment, when he lived off money he had earned playing saxophone in a jazz combo and read the worlds great literature in a syllabus of his own design, Campbell published his first short story. That tale, included in this collection, remained the famed mythologists only published piece of fiction, until now.
In these stories, readers will find rich mythological symbolism, down-to-earth concerns with the ravages of the Second World War, and singular iterations of Campbells famous Heros Journey schema all interwoven into a literary style that anticipates the genre that would years later come to be known as magical realism. Compelling in their own right, these seven stories are essential reading for longtime Campbell fans and the many who continue to discover him afresh.
