“ The ubiquity of prisons ”

Take a trip to Rachel Kushner's 'The Mars Room' and you will not emerge unscathed from the author's sweeping cinematographic vision of California's seedier sides. A well-documented view of the US incarceration system as experienced mainly by women, 'The Mars Room' extends the notion of prison to a wider sense of the term towards societal prejudices, gender conflicts and even the criminal intolerance an otherwise peaceful teacher exhibits towards his fellow rural neighbours. A book better to experience than to describe, a high intensity read which is an antidote against simplistic, binary thinking.
