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 Horneys model of submission, aggression and withdrawal, Jean Baker Millers concept of relational being, Julia Kristevas idea of psychic space, and Kelly Olivers notions on social support to analyze Constants work. Millers close reading also brings to light previously unnoticed mythological references in Constants fiction which illuminate the characters psychological realities, and examines Constants nuanced treatment of violence through language. In Search of Shelter: Subjectivity and Spaces of Loss in the Fiction of Paule Constant reveals the myriad intersections of interpersonal and cognitive psychology, mythological and cultural awareness, literature, and lived experience, and suggests new ways of reading these and other works of fiction.
