- Annotation
- Draws on biographical evidence and close reading to transcend the debate on whether Jig has the abortion by suggesting that the story s meaning is illuminated by viewing abortion metaphorically. Wyche argues that the abortion represents not only the termination of the protagonists relationship but also the author s failed first marriage and estrangement from friends.
