Conversely, The Mars Room is quite recognizable as serious literature: the signs are obvious and heartening. ![]() The novel’s probity, range and passion are vital and yet beyond too many of the Usual Suspect literary critics distracted by their particular hobgoblin, “genre” fiction, of which Flynn’s novel is anything but. A literary gift, Flynn’s unexpected, brilliantly original, and mind-changing masterpiece, is a broad but controlled capturing of the present American drama wickedly satirized. ![]() A case might be made now–halfway through 2018–that two of the most dominant voices in current American literary fiction are the novelists Gillian Flynn for Gone Girl and Rachel Kushner for The Mars Room. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zoo curators, caught between a desire for rare animals and the conservation-minded focus of their institutions, became the smugglers? antagonists in court but also their best customers, sometimes simultaneously. Like Molt, Crutchfield had modeled himself after an earlier generation of natural-history collectors celebrated for their service to science, an ideal that, for Molt and Crutchfield, eclipsed the realities of the new wildlife-protection laws.

Art by Sophie Blackall from Things to Look Forward to In love’s mirror, we are revealed to ourselves, stripped of the ego’s flattering self-image, our vulnerabilities and inadequacies laid bare - a revelation laced with the sublime, both beautiful and terrifying to the bone.
