“This stuff is a riot, a mad laboratory, exploring questions you’re not usually allowed to ask…yet this isn’t a survey of a particular moment – or movement – in art. It’s not about literature either, or not exactly. It’s about what happens in the hinterland between the two. The ‘elsewheres’ in the title is not just a reference to the elusive, disappearing nature of some of this work, but to its location in a cultural sense, on the ‘cusp’ or the ‘removes’ of literature as a discipline.”
—The London Review of Books
