Abstract	:	Indo-Guyanese novelist David Dabydeen's work is the subject of this dissertation. His six novels up to date, <i>The Intended</i> (1991), <i> Disappearance</i> (1993), <i>The Counting House</i> (1996), <i> A Harlot's Progress</i> (1999), <i>Our Lady of Demerara</i> (2004), and <i>Molly and the Muslim Stick</i> (2008), are the texts chosen for my research, although I will touch upon additional works of his nonfiction, edited books and poetry collections. I will contextualize the author's extremely sexualized world view, as well as his very negative depiction of women in these texts through social history and psychoanalytic interpretation.
