"We all do and think funny things every day, only most of us edit them out of our consciousness, we don't share some of the most interesting things we think and do. For example, in 1981 I heard that my wife was expecting our third child, and I was suddenly filled with the archetypal need to make money."John Boe continues with the anecdote of how he came to be teaching English at the University of California at Davis, offering one of many delightful and personal snapshots of his humorous and often revealing approach to living. In these short, witty essays, he slices life along the lines of Jungian psychology applied to such everyday topics as holidays, palmistry, Shakespeare, movies, astrology, and more, while behind the humor is a satisfying glimpse of wisdom and experience. John Boe is a lecturer at the University of California at Davis, editor of Writing on the Edge, a newsletter about teaching writing, and a frequent contributor to such publications as East Bay Express, Unte Reader, the San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, and Psychological Perspectives.Table of ContentsPart 1: Looking for the Meaning of LifeMessiness Is Next to GoddessnessMistakes Were Made: Philosophy in an Off KeyFor Me and My AnimaReligion and BasketballThe Holidays of DarknessIn the Palm of My HandDon't Dream It, Be It: The Rocky Horror Picture Show as Dionysian RevelMarie-Louise von Franz and The Way of the DreamPleasing and Agreeable: An Interview with John FreemanThe Age of PegasusPart II: Looking at LiteratureThe Wolf in Jack LondonSimenon, Apollo, and Dionysus: A Jungian Approach to MysteriesTo Kill Mercutio: Thoughts on Shakespeare's Psychological DevelopmentThe Introvert in ShakespeareCats and Dogs: A Theory of LiteraturePart III: Looking at Life ItselfOn My BackPapa Was a Gamblin' ManA Time to Be BornNotes: My Mother at the PianoLife Itself
