Title: The Elephant in The Garden of Eden
Author/Creator: James Hillman
Publication Details: Spring: Journal of Archetype and Culture, Vol.50, pp.93-115
Annotation: Overview of the elephant image found in contemporary psychology, literature, and ancient animal lore. Hillman sees in Kotzwinkle s Elephant Bangs Train (1971), Orwell s Shooting an Elephant, and the African story a connection between the dying elephant and the act of writing. Hillman writes, The elephant hunt and the author s reflections on the writing of it become a parable for the mystical integrity of writing itself which is the soul of the book.
