520    In 1969, Jane Mixer, a first-year law student at the 
       University of Michigan, posted a note on a student 
       noticeboard to share a lift back to her hometown of 
       Muskegon for spring break. She never made it- she was 
       brutally murdered, her body found a few miles from campus 
       the following day.The Red Parts is Maggie Nelson's 
       singular account of her aunt Jane's death, and the trial 
       that took place some 35 years afterward. Officially 
       unsolved for decades, the case was reopened in 2004 after 
       a DNA match identified a new suspect, who would soon be 
       arrested and tried. In 2005, Nelson found herself 
       attending the trial, and reflecting with fresh urgency on 
       our relentless obsession with violence, particularly 
       against women. Resurrecting her interior world during the 
       trial - in all its horror, grief, obsession, recklessness,
       scepticism and downright confusion - Maggie Nelson has 
       produced a work of profound integrity and, in its subtle 
       indeterminacy, deadly moral precision 
520    Late in 2004, Maggie Nelson was looking forward to the 
       publication of her book Jane: A Murder, a narrative in 
       verse about the life and death of her aunt, who had been 
       murdered thirty-five years before. The case remained 
       unsolved, but Jane was assumed to have been the victim of 
       an infamous serial killer in Michigan in 1969. Then, one 
       November afternoon, Nelson received a call from her mother,
       who announced that the case had been reopened; a new 
       suspect would be arrested and tried on the basis of a DNA 
       match. Over the months that followed, Nelson found herself
       attending the trial with her mother and reflecting anew on
       the aura of dread and fear that hung over her family and 
       childhood--an aura that derived not only from the terrible
       facts of her aunt's murder, but also from her own 
       complicated journey through sisterhood, daughterhood, and 
       girlhood. The Red Parts is a memoir, an account of a trial,
       and a provocative essay that interrogates the American 
       obsession with violence and missing white women, and that 
       scrupulously explores the nature of grief, justice, and 
       empathy
