- Abstract:
- Explores how Max Vigne, from Andrea Barrett's "Servants of the Map," makes use of the dangerous Himalayan mountain environment as almost as Winnicottian "play space," in which to recover from being requited to a life of obligation, rather than real-self discovery, after his mother's death.
