Mavor, Carol. Reading Boyishly: Roland Barthes, J.M. Barrie, Jacques Henri Lartigue, Marcel Proust, and D.W. Winnicott. "Mavor writes that as we grow up, our memories of childhood become hopelessly fuzzy and fragmented, and this is why these mostly early 20th-century artists' works, with their ability to recapture an irretrievable past, so fascinate her. Her book is essentially a passionate study of nostalgic representations of the maternal in the artistic creations of five distinguished and famous—albeit boyish—men." Library Journal 2/15/08
