Abstract

Marie NDiaye is one of the most eminent writer-storytellers in France today. She is the author of around twenty books, novels, short stories and plays and has received international acclaim and won several awards. In her works, NDiaye talks about women's issues, their common concerns, feelings, worries and fears. She has created one of the most original novelistic universes of the contemporary French novel. Literary critics appreciated not only the virtuosity of her style but also the very distinctive way she manages to disrupt the monotony of everyday life by introducing fantastic and supernatural elements into her stories. In her books, there is a mix of fantasy and reality of everyday life which causes a strange feeling in the reader. Self-Portrait in Green is one of her novels that, with a complex structure and perfect writing, evokes that strange feeling in the mind, a feeling that Freud called "Uncanny" and explained it in an article of the same name published in 1919. Freud defines the Uncanny as « that class of the terrifying which leads back to something long known to us, once very familiar » (1988: 2). The Uncanny is, therefore, the experience of something strange, but which refers to something familiar or inseparable from oneself.
