Resum

In this paper, I analyse the novel No Fixed Address by the Canadian writer Aritha van Herk from the particular perspectives opened by postcolonial and feminist literary theories. I will focus on the intersections between these two theoretical discourses in fiction. My attempt is to show how van Herk dismantles social and literary conventions in an alternative narrative that rewrites the relations among woman, fiction and space.
