The Other Place
Short story about the father of a thirteen-year-old boy who recalls the violent fantasies he had when he was younger.
Mary Gaitskill's narrator and his son sit watching TV when an ad for "Captivity" flashes across: a terrified blonde in a cage, tear running down her face. "I could feel his fascination, the suddenly deepening quality of it. And I don't doubt that he could feel mine. We sat there and felt it together."
