Recensione:
“Like Denis Johnson in ‘Jesus’ Son,’ Kushner is on the lookout for bent moments of comic grace...The Mars Room is a major novel.” —Dwight Garner, The New York Times
“The Mars Room affirms Rachel Kushner as one of our best novelists...her stories slink in the margins, but they have the feel of something iconic.”—Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly
“Kushner is a woman with the chops, ambition and killer instinct to rub shoulders with all those big, swinging male egos who routinely get worshipped as geniuses.”—John Powers, Fresh Air
“[A] tough, prismatic and quite gripping novel...wholly authentic...profound...surprisingly luminous.”—Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
"A searing, tragic look at life in the prison-industrial complex, covering poverty, sex work, mass incarceration, education, trauma, suffering, love, and redemption. Somehow, Kushner's rapid-fire, imaginative prose makes it seems effortless.”—Vogue
“Kushner is a masterful world-creator, and her accomplishment here is unparalleled.”—Nylon
“Kushner’s writing and thinking are always invigorating, urgent, and painterly precise.”—Vulture
“Stunning... a gorgeously written depiction of survival and the absurd and violent facets of life in prison.” —Buzzfeed
“Reading The Mars Room is a profoundly affecting experience, very nearly overwhelming, and yet it absolutely must be read. Kushner’s first two novels (Telex from Cuba, The Flamethrowers) were National Book Award finalists. It would be baffling if The Mars Room does not win this year’s.” —Cory Oldweiler, amNewYork
“[A] stunning new book... Kushner deploys the masterful storytelling she’s known for...an unmistakable voice. “—Town and Country
