      ab: The article focuses on the novel "Fugitive Pieces," by Anne Michael. In the novel Michael paradoxically conceives of place both as a site of loss and as a ground of belonging, even though belonging is usually associated with plenitude, a fullness of being in social, spatial, and other contexts. "Fugitive Pieces" emphasizes the spatial consciousness of a displaced child survivor. In making the places of exile signify with the refugee's own loss, Michael both extends Holocaust consciousness to places not usually associated with the event and affirms the survivor's need for continued place-based experience. Moreover, through immersion in the history of his exilic places, the survivor connects his own losses with those of others.
