Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The human shadow — the parts of ourselves we don't like, won't admit, and usually try to hide or blame on others — can be a scary subject. So scary, Carl Jung thought failure to deal with shadow material would doom the human race. So scary, most of us pretend not to notice we're casting psychological shadows. To introduce this vital subject to the general public Plumb uses down-to-earth language and illustrations by the fantasy artist Bob Hobbs on every page; she weaves together fairy tale, graphic novel and serious psychological subject with global implications. We all needed to know how the human shadow works. And now we can.

Synopsis:

The human shadow is a scary subject. So scary, Carl Jung thought failure to deal with shadow material would lead to the extinction of the human race. So scary, most people like to pretend they don't have one. But armed with gorgeous illustrations by fantasy artist Bob Hobbs, author Kay Newell Plumb fearlessly takes the human shadow on in Using Beauty and Her Beast to Introduce the Human Shadow. She creates a one-of-a-kind book that is a mix between a fairy tale, a graphic novel, and a serious psychological subject. Plumb hopes to promote a better understanding of the concept of the human shadow with this book.

The quote on the back of this book cover is what hooked me. "A human being simply cannot live a fairy tale life. Consider yourself warned." The illustrator of this book is as integral to the story as the writer. The result of their collaboration is an easy-to-read, & re-read, introduction to what is usually a very complicated, academic subject.

This is a beautifully illustrated and compelling conversation, that is both instructive and entertaining. Plumb challenges us to confront ourselves, our country, and our world through the lens of The Human Shadow. It's a great read.
