Well after searching Gorgas' oddly organized shelves of books I was able to find two volumes of criticism on dystopia in literature. After brining them home and cross referencing them with the stories in our anthologies and the list Andy gave me, it was found that none of the stories or authors were mentioned in these two volumes. Lame. However, the introductions and first couple chapters of each book deal with dystopia in literature as a whole and will give me a good bit of material to write on and then perhaps apply to my own analysis of "Family", "The Repairer of Reputations", and perhaps a couple more from the Straub anthology.
Oh, and for anyone interested these two sources are:
Dystopian Literature: A Theory and Research Guide - M. Keith Booker
The Dystopian Impulse in Modern Literature - M. Keith Booker
They both seem interesting, and I'll probably read the 2nd in full length after writing the paper as the first mainly deals with analyzing many works I've never read.
