Summary
Wilson opens his only novel with a prologue announcing that the story unfolds across three parallel worlds—those of ants, of human beings, and of the biosphere as a whole—all occupying the same time and place. This framing signals from the outset that Anthill is no ordinary coming-of-age tale but a deliberate braiding of nature and human life.
