Review

It is an unforgettable novel, and leaves the reader in no doubt that Kushner is one of America's greatest living authors. * Daily Telegraph *One of the greatest novels I have read in years. Her prior novel, The Flamethrowers, was expansive and thrilling, but this is richer and deeper, more ambitious in its moral vision… an exhilarating, always surprising read. * Irish Times *When I finished reading The Mars Room, I immediately reread it because I didn't want to leave its world… The Mars Room teems with quick and distinctive voices. -- Max Liu * Financial Times *Cements [Kushner's] status as one of America's finest writers. * Vogue, **Must-Read Books of 2018** *I've been bowled over by Rachel Kushner's The Mars Room [about life in a women's prison]. It's astounding – very difficult to read but so beautifully done, and with such knowledge, although it doesn't feel like a "researched" book. -- Anne Tyler * Observer *
