Reviews
Akira is the Galileo of women's sexuality, shifting our culture from the 'Dark Ages' of slut-shaming into an enlightened celebration of female desire. Hot, hilarious, and engrossing, this book is a path toward greater freedom for us all: read it and evolve. --Alissa Nutting, author of Tampa The multitalented porn star Asa Akira's twitter has been shared a ton and now I'm fully obsessed with her. . . . she's so freaking hilarious that I'd be as into her if she were a comedian and not a porn star, but she wouldn't be making as much money in comedy because of society. . . funny, but important. . . witty and clever. --Blisstree.com Asa Akira is on a mission: To improve the sex lives of men & women around the world . . . and if anyone can do it, it's probably her. --MaxManGuide.com In the past couple years Akira has made her stamp on the business as one of the most dynamic sexual performers of all-time as evidenced by her whopping 10 AVN awards at the previous two award ceremonies. -- Peace! Magazine (Canada)
In this brilliant memoir, Lacy Johnson offers us a guide to the impossible--how to reconstruct a past when the past itself is shattered, each memory broken into pieces, left rattling around inside us. Sometimes flashes of poetry are all that we can find in the wreckage, sometimes these flashes are all that can possibly save us, brought together for brief, burning instances, and then let go. The Other Side bristles with life and energy and to read it is to be transformed. --Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City Wow. Just...Wow. The Other Side is the sonic boom of a powerful story meeting an even more powerful storyteller. It's hard to say anything about a book that leaves you this breathless. Lacy Johnson is my new literary hero. --Mat Johnson, author of PYM Lacy M. Johnson's powerfully moving and brilliantly structured memoir, The Other Side , asks, How is it possible to reclaim the body after devastating violence? Her intense desire and demand for a life lived in the body is triumphant. Johnson's strength to free not only her physical self, but also to move through years of incapacitating fear by writing this book, is breathtaking 'I lift the chain from my neck, over my head, let it rattle to the floor'. --Kelle Groom, author of I Wore the Ocean in the Shape of a Girl
