From the author of internationally acclaimed The Flamethrowers - a fearless and heartbreaking novel about love, friendship and incarceration.
Rachel Kushner is the author of The Hard Crowd, her acclaimed essay collection, and the internationally bestselling novels The Mars Room, The Flamethrowers, and Telex from Cuba, as well as a book of short stories, The Strange Case of Rachel K. She has won the Prix Medicis and been shortlisted for the Booker Prize, the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Folio Prize, and was twice a finalist for the National Book Award in Fiction.

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.
*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.
