07.20: Lacy Johnson in Conversation with Nick Flynn
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
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 (Tin House) is the haunting account of a first passionate and then abusive relationship; the events leading to her kidnapping, rape, and imprisonment; her dramatic escape; and her hard-fought struggle to recover. In language both stark and poetic, Johnson's richly personal narrative delivers a raw and unforgettable story of trauma and transformation. Johnson will be joined in conversation by Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.
