Altogether Elsewhere
Anna Wilson
The judge condems the mans use of excessive force and recommends future restraint. He hands down a suspended sentence. A cuts out the story and pins it to the door of her refrigerator. Each time she bends down for milk, she meets it eye to eye. The glass tinkles and breaks, a high pitched noise, she feels on light feet, floating on pure, clear exaltation.
“Violence [in Anna Wilson’s Altogether Elsewhere] emanates specifically from men and is specifically directed at women, in the workplace, at home, on the streets. But this is only the beginning.
In what amounts to the book’s third level of reality, the women form a vigilante group to patrol their city at night. Here, they drive themselves to self-assertion, but also to their own violence.”
