| 摘要 | David Ketterer offers an interpretation of Esther Rochon's extraordinary novel The Shell which places it in the tradition of Québécois ‘island stories’ and relates it to Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Both works feature sympathetic #x2018;monsters’ and originated in dreams related to pregnancy, birth, and death. Rochon's monster, it is argued, embodies an acceptance of all that is wonderful and all that is hideous and disgusting about the human condition. Esther Rochon, in her ‘Notes on Coquillage,’ elaborates on the genesis and process of composition of The Shell, including a first version entitled ‘Mourir une fois pour toutes’ (To Die Once and For All) and various problems that arose in transforming this short story into a novel She also discusses the influence on The Shell of both Tibetan Buddhism and the geography of Québec, as well as the relationship between the chronology of events in The Shell and its rearranged narrative form.
