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. 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.
