Комната на Марсе Рэйчел Кушнер
ISBN: 978-5-04-105125-9 Год издания: 2019 Издательство: Эксмо Язык: Русский Роми Холл — бывшая стриптизерша. Но это в прошлом. В будущем — два пожизненных срока в одной из тюрем Калифорнии. За забором остались маленький сын Джексон и Сан-Франциско ее молодости. Внутри тюрьмы ее ожидает новая реальность: тысячи женщин, пытающихся выжить, жестокость охраны и заключенных, абсурд жизни за решеткой, описанный с юмором и вниманием к деталям. "Комната на Марсе" — роман, шокирующий в своей откровенности и совсем не сентиментальный в описаниях быта женщин, чья жизнь превратилась в катастрофу.

The Flamethrowers Rachel Kushner
ISBN: 1439142009, 9781439142004 Год издания: 2013 Издательство: Scribner Язык: Английский The year is 1975 and Reno—so-called because of the place of her birth—has come to New York intent on turning her fascination with motorcycles and speed into art.

Creation Lake Rachel Kushner
ISBN: 9781787331747 Год издания: 2024 Издательство: Jonathan Cape Язык: Английский Sadie Smith--a sardonic, strikingly sexy, 30-something American undercover agent of questionable morals--is sent by her mysterious but powerful employers to a remote corner of France. Her instructions are to infiltrate a commune of radical eco-activists and coax them into violent action, provoking the French state to crush them and their dangerous ideas for good. At first Sadie finds Bruno’s idealism laughable--he lives in a Neanderthal cave and believes the path to enlightenment is a return to primitivism--but over time she falls for his narrative. His ingenious counter-histories, his artful laments, his own devastating story become…

The Flamethrowers Rachel Kushner
ISBN: 9780099586982 Год издания: 2022 Издательство: Vintage Books Язык: Английский Reno mounts her motorcycle and sets a collision course for New York.
In 1977 the city is alive with art, sensuality and danger. She falls in with a bohemian clique colonising downtown and the lines between reality and performance begin to bleed.
A passionate affair with the scion of an Italian tyre empire carries Reno to Milan, where she is swept along by the radical left and drawn into a spiral of violence and betrayal.
The Flamethrowers is an audacious novel that explores the perplexing allure of femininity, fakery and fear. In Reno we encounter a heroine like no other.
