What follows is a startling series of recollections and fantasies that illuminate the workings of a prisoner's unhinged mind. He yearns for his violent childhood, rages against obscure authorities, and imagines enacting horrible revenge on those who imprisoned him. The prisoner's remand cell becomes the scene of a surreal mental torture. Disorienting, nightmarish and structurally inventive, The Room is a shocking examination of the suffering humans can inflict on each other. 650 0 $a Prisoners $z United States $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Prison psychology $v Fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211202014413.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B10A7B0A25A111EC99F17AB23DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
