In Anywhere Else, Rachel Knox explores images of Florida in pop culture together with her own experiences growing up in Florida and discussions of issues central to life in the state—class, violence, religion, women’s rights, and sexuality. Knox’s eclectic essays consider subjects including Florida serial killer Aileen Wuornos, painter Thomas Kinkade and the Florida Highwaymen, Ralph Waldo Emerson in St. Augustine, the X-Files monster of the week, and a queer film made in Florida in 1914. This book is a lively, sharp, and witty read that will be enjoyed by readers both within and far outside the state.
