Family, sex, and myth collide in this new and challenging view of what famed critic Northrop Frye has called our mythological universe. The people depicted in Portraits Deep in the Castle unify the now of our remote past with the urge to re-create their struggle for recognition in our own lives.
Poetry that ennobles the familiar, fiction that liberates the familiar from the strange, and essays that attack unquestioned conventions of everyday reality, find their likeness in portraits that speak the mute, but universal language of a knight and a lady deep in a castle, far away, but never far from home.
