Rachel Kushner (2018 Event)

Rachel Kushner’s much-anticipated follow-up novel to the
dazzlingly successful The Flamethrowers is The Mars Room, a
fearless and brutally honest portrayal of Romy, a woman starting
a double life sentence in a US correctional facility, leaving her
young son with her mother. In this event, filmed live at the 2018
Edinburgh International Book Festival, we welcome Kushner back to
Scotland to discuss her latest book (which has subsequently been
shortlisted for the 2018 Man Booker Prize) with American-Mexican
novelist and human rights activist Jennifer Clement.
