Biography
Steve Gronert Ellerhoff is a graduate of the Creative Writing MA at Lancaster University, and he also holds an MPhil in Literatures of the Americas and a PhD in English from Trinity College, Dublin. Currently, along with Philip Coleman of Trinity College, Dublin, he is co-editing George Saunders: Critical Essays, the first book-length work of criticism on the author. A scholar and writer of fiction, his literary efforts include Time’s Laughingstocks and Tales from the Internet, a story collection. Another novel, The Hedgehog’s Dilemma, is forthcoming.
"Ellerhoff’s fascinating post-Jungian analysis of these stories not only situates these texts within the broader theoretical framework of archetypal psychology, but he also carefully contextualises them within the unique historical moment of post-war America."
- Miranda Corcoran, Journal of the Irish Association for American Studies
