The fiction of French post-colonial writer Paule Constant is remarkable in its lurid and disturbing portrayals of female characters suffering in profoundly oppressive 'colonizing' circumstances. In In Search of Shelter: Subjectivity and Spaces of Loss in the Fiction of Paule Constant, author Margot Miller skillfully synthesizes Karen Horney's model of submission, aggression and withdrawal, Jean Baker Miller's concept of relational being, Julia Kristeva's idea of psychic space, and Kelly Oliver's notions on social support to analyze Constant's work. Miller's close reading also brings to light previously unnoticed mythological references in Constant's fiction which illuminate the characters' psychological realities, and examines Constant's nuanced treatment of violence through language.

Readers discover the inspiration behind classic songs like 'Sweet Gene Vincent' and 'Reasons To Be Cheerful', the ...

En bref, je suis arrivée à Penrose. Rien n’était normal ; ici les gens ne semblent pas avoir de soucis. Leur histoire n’est pas la nôtre. J’ai cherché sur des cartes, mais pas de chance. Toutefois, même si j’essaie de sortir, je recule toujours. Je crois que quelque chose me lie à ce village de fous. Qui sont ces femmes ? On dirait qu’elles me connaissent, mais je sais que je ne suis jamais venue ici. Que cachent ces femmes ? Je ne sais pas, mais avant de partir, je devrai le découvrir. Qui suis-je ?
