Summary
Winner of a PEN Translates Award
When Anya is arrested at a Moscow anti-corruption rally under false pretenses, she is given a 10-day sentence at a detention center. Her cellmates are five other ordinary women arrested on petty charges.
Ten listless days stretch before Anya and, as she appeals her sentence and recalls her progress from apolitical youth to informed citizen, she is troubled by strange, dreamlike visions, and wonders if her cellmates might somehow not be as ordinary as they seem.
A brilliant exploration of what it means to be marginalized both as an independent woman and in an increasingly intolerant Russia in particular, The Incredible Events in Women's Cell Number 3 introduces one of the most urgent and gripping new voices in international literature.
