About this ebook
The Mars Room: by Rachel Kushner | Conversation Starters
From Rachel Kushner, bestselling author of The Flamethrowers and Telex from Cuba, comes another compelling novel The Mars Room. Kushner tells the story of Romy Hall as she begins her life sentences at California’s Stanville Women’s Correctional Facility. She was severed from her young son Jackson to be penalized with her second life sentence. Her new home is now with thousands of women prisoners hustling to survive with bare essentials and violence.
The Wall Street Journal describes Kushner’s novel “tough, prismatic and quite gripping.” Joshua Ferris calls The Mars Room “an addictive novel, laced throughout with a bracing intelligence.” For Entertainment Weekly, The Mars Room is “a probing portrait of contemporary America.”
