The writing is beautiful -- from hard precision to lyrical imagery, with a flawless feel for when to soar and when to pull back." -- Dana Spiotta "The Mars Room is uniquely informed ... empathetic. An addictive novel, laced throughout with bracing intelligence."--Joshua Ferris "It's her best book yet, another big step forward. " --Jonathan Franzen * 'Kushner is one of our most outstanding modern writers.' STYLIST' More knowing about prison life than Orange Is The New Black...so powerful.' --NEW YORK TIMES 'Breathtaking.' --VOGUE
