They consider her rich because her family can afford that kind of dress. The children are fascinated at a girl clad in a glamorous and luxurious dress. That feeling was the same as the story of this book. It was the time when I came to understand that your economic, social, and even aesthetic status was also based on the quality of the clothes you wear. But I started to be kind of ashamed of my dress when I reached the puberty stage, when I began to have a circle of friends. We always wore them on different special occasions like when we had to visit our mom’s father in a far province or when we wanted to visit our other relatives in the other cities. Our parents would only buy us new ones every Christmas because we could no longer wear the ones we had bought the other year. In my younger days, I didn’t have decent clothes and shoes.

Stunning and unsentimental, The Mars Room demonstrates new levels of mastery and depth in Kushner’s work. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the bare essentials needed to survive the bluffing and pageantry and casual acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike and the deadpan absurdities of institutional living, which Kushner evokes with great humor and precision. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: the San Francisco of her youth and her young son, Jackson. It’s 2003 and Romy Hall is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women’s Correctional Facility, deep in California’s Central Valley. FINALIST for the MAN BOOKER PRIZE and t he NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDĪn instant New York Times bestseller from two-time National Book Award finalist Rachel Kushner, The Mars Room earned tweets from Margaret Atwood-“gritty, empathic, finely rendered, no sugar toppings, and a lot of punches, none of them pulled”-and from Stephen King-“ The Mars Room is the real deal, jarring, horrible, compassionate, funny.” |
