Errollyn Wallen's 'Anon': Manon Lescaut for the 21st century
When Errollyn Wallen was 17 she was nearly murdered, more than once. She and a friend were hitch-hiking around Europe; several times, she says, men who had offered to help them then drew a knife. Apparently policemen too. "We managed to escape each time," she says, "but we were young and naive and hadn't known we were in danger."
