Summary:
Seduced by politics and poetry, the unnamed narrator falls in love with a university professor and agrees to be his
wife
, but what for her is a contract of love is for him a contract of ownership. As he sets about reducing her to his idealised version of a kept woman, bullying her out of her life as an academic and
writer
in the process, she attempts to push back a resistance he resolves to break with violence and rape. "
When
I
Hit
You" is a dissection of what love meant, means and will come to mean
when
trust is undermined by violence.

Psychological fiction.
