Over the course of a year\, from June 2002 to June 2003\, four residents - Rex\, Moss\, Gary and June - tell their highly personal stories\, centere d on “average” people in or beyond midlife\, whose thoughts\, feelings and actions are influenced to a high degree by movies and the movie indus try. In each of their singular collisions with life\, a universal and myth ic pattern is unfurled which gives these so-called ordinary people a digni ty they have long since lost in everyday life. It is the narrator\, a fift h protagonist as it were\, who assembles the life shards of his characters into four “Hollywood individuation stories\,” as Roth calls them.\nTh is three-part program is about the second story in Starlite Terrace entitl ed “Solar Eclipse.” In Part One Patrick Roth will read the story to us . In Parts Two and Three the story will be interpreted from a depth psycho logical point of view by Michaela Kopp-Marx\, who will take a closer look at the unfolding of certain themes and associated motifs through the tale\ , as they coalesce toward a center of meaning\, the focus being the hero M oss (Moses) and his individuation process. Seen from a depth psychological perspective\, “Solar Eclipse” portrays modern man’s confrontation w ith the anima\; this masterfully written story exemplifies how a man can f ind a relationship with his feminine side.​\nPurchase Starlite Terrace o n Amazon\nPatrick Roth is a German-American writer who moved to the US in his early twenties and lived there for many years. He began his artistic c areer as a director and screenwriter in Los Angeles. In the early 1990s\, he switched to prose and developed his cinema-influenced style as a storyt eller. He is renowned as a writer of biblical-archetypal narratives\, dram atized in a cinematically expressionistic prose that makes the mythical th emes come alive. A prime example of this approach is Die Christus Trilogie \, which caused a sensation in the 1990s. Alongside the images of the Bibl e\, Roth’s novels also explore the world of film and its heroes. He has been a Resident Scholar of the C. G. Jung Study Center of Southern Califo rnia since 2007 and is currently a member of its Board of Directors.\nMich aela Kopp-Marx\, PhD\, is a professor of Modern German Literature at the U niversity of Heidelberg. Her field of work and research is modern and cont emporary literature\, especially the interrelations between visual art\, f ilm\, and literature (Rilke and Rodin: In Search of the True Way of Writin g\, 1999). She is particularly interested in C. G. Jung’s analytical psy chology\, including the theory of archetypes and symbol theory in contempo rary literature\, especially in the work of Patrick Roth. In addition to i nterpretive essays and anthologies on Roth’s literature\, she published an annotated new edition of his Die Christus Trilogie in 2017. She is in t raining as a Jungian therapist at the Research and Training Centre for Dep th Psychology according to C.G.
