1. The ultimate "mother quest" must be the Alien trilogy. But is it
'literature'? (Personally, I see no reason why not.)
2. Umm... what is a "mother quest"? Is it like the quest for the grail?
Or is it even more silly?

PS. "...they want a great swollen tit with some atrophied excuse for a
human, bleating around somewhere in its shadows. How can I be human
for her? Not her mother. 'Mother', that's a civil-service category, Mothers
work for Them! They're the policemen of the soul..." her face darkened,
Judaized by the words she speaks, not because it's out loud but because
she means it, and she's right (GR, 219).
