''Possibly in Michigan'' is an operatic fairy tale of cannibalism, desire and dread in Middle America, a densely collaged narrative in which the Beauty meets the Beast in the surreal landscape of shopping-mall suburbia. Two women with a penchant for "violence and perfume" take revenge on their animal-masked male persecutor. In this contemporary rendering of gothic enchantment, the victim becomes the aggressor and the familiar becomes the fantastic. Constructing a comically grim fairy tale of dreamlike pursuit and sexual violence, she inverts traditional Freudian metaphors to impart a subversive voice to her transgressive heroines: "I bite at the hand that feeds me." ''Possibly in Michigan'' is a classic tale of classic meme horror, retold as an irreverent fantasy of the other.</center>
