‘Gemlike stories that sparkle with intelligence and fire.’ —O, The Oprah Magazine
A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, this wonderfully imagined collection from the ‘genius enchantress’ (Karen Russell) author of Ship Fever, winner of the National Book Award, explores the crossroads of science and desire.
Servants of the Map sweeps through two centuries, from the Western Himalayas to the Adirondacks, conjuring characters that travel through the territories of yearning and awakening, of loss and unexpected discovery. A mapper of the highest mountain peaks realizes his true obsession. A young woman afire with scientific curiosity must come to terms with a romantic fantasy. Brothers and sisters, torn apart at an early age, are beset by dreams of reunion. As we move through these richly layered tales, Andrea Barrett weaves subtle connections among the stories within this collection and characters in her earlier works.
