The Red Parts: Autobiography of a Trial
$16.78 online at Bookshop.org
In 1969, first-year Michigan law student Jane Mixer posted a note seeking a ride home for spring break and was murdered the next day near campus. Officially unsolved for decades, the case reopened in 2004 after a DNA match identified a new suspect. In 2005 Maggie Nelson, Jane's niece, attended the trial and found herself reflecting with fresh urgency on our obsession with violence against women. Resurrecting her interior world during the trial, in all its horror, grief, obsession, recklessness, skepticism, and confusion, she produces a work of fierce integrity about autobiography, a trial, and moral precision.
