Abstract
Abstract:This essay applies Michel Foucault's theory of heterotopia or other place to Anne Michaels's second novel, The Winter Vault, which repeatedly uses "place" as trope and topos. These "counter-sites" in her fiction contest communal and environmental displacements, and help to transform the otherness of her characters from loss to partial belonging.
