The Other Side
A Memoir
Portland, Oregon : Tin House Books, [2014]
Format: Book
Description: 219 pages ; 20 cm
Lacy Johnson was held prisoner in a soundproofed room in a basement apartment that her ex-boyfriend rented and outfitted for the sole purpose of raping and killing her. She 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 and imprisonment, her dramatic escape, and her hard-fought struggle to recover. The Other Side offers more than just a true crime record. In language both stark and poetic, Johnson weaves together a personal narrative with police reports, psychological evaluations, and neurobiological investigations, provoking both troubling and timely questions about gender roles and the epidemic of violence against women.
