Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Finalist for National Book Critics Circle Award and Edgar Award Barnes and Noble Discover Prize Winner Named Best Book of the Year by Kirkus Lacy Johnson's rich and poetic memoir, The Other Side, chronicles her brutal kidnapping and imprisonment at the hands of an ex-boyfriend, her dramatic escape, and her hard-fought struggle to recover. Lacy Johnson bangs on the glass doors of a sleepy local police station in the middle of the night. Her feet are bare; her body is bruised and bloody; U-bolts dangle from her wrists. She has escaped, but not unscathed. The Other Side is the haunting account of a first passionate and then abusive relationship; the events leading to Johnson's kidnapping, rape, and imprisonment; her dramatic escape; and her hard-fought struggle to recover. At once thrilling, terrifying, harrowing, and hopeful, The Other Side offers more than just a true crime record. In language both stark and poetic, Johnson weaves together a richly personal narrative with police and FBI reports, psychological records, and neurological experiments, delivering a raw and unforgettable story of trauma and transformation.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. "Unflinching and honest.both timely and timeless" (Houston Chronicle), this extraordinary collection of essays by the award-winning writer of The Other Side--rooted in her own experience with sexual assault--pursues questions that strike at the heart of our national conversation about the justness of society. In 2014, Lacy Johnson was giving a reading from The Other Side, her "instant classic" (Kirkus Reviews) memoir of kidnapping and rape, when a woman asked her what she would like to happen to her rapist. This collection "attempts to parcel out several knotted problems and suggests forms of meaningful justice" (Booklist, starred review). Drawing from philosophy, art, literature, mythology, anthropology, film, and her own experience of violence, Johnson considers how our ideas about justice might be expanded beyond vengeance and retribution to include acts of compassion, patience, mercy, and grace. "The Reckonings is not a book about changing the world. It's philosophy in disguise, equal parts memoir, criticism, and ethics.The twelve essays deserve great consideration, while you read it and long after" (NPR). From "Speak Truth to Power," about the condition of not being believed about rape and assault; to "Goliath," about the ways evil is used as a form of social control; to "The Fallout," about ecological and generational violence, Johnson creates masterful, elaborate, gorgeously written essays that speak incisively about our current era. She grapples with justice and retribution, truth and fairness, and sexual assault and workplace harassment, as well as the broadest societal wrongs: the BP Oil Spill, government malfeasance, police killings. The Reckonings is a powerful and necessary work, ambitious in its scope, which "challenges our culture's expectations of justice and expose the limits of vengeance and mercy" (Ms. Magazine).…
