Still Waters Run Deep : A Collection of Young Women Writers

In this new collection, six Russian women take a sober view of the modern world after two decades of social upheaval. The authors featured in Still Waters Run Deep are Yaroslava Pulinovich, Olga Rimsha, Irina Bogatereva, Ksenia Zhukova, Anna Lavrinenko and Anna Leonidova. All in their 20s or 30s, they have all won Russia's prestigious Debut Prize. There are fascinating and frank self-portraits, alongside merciless takes on the opposite sex. Taken together, their vision is always sharp and often unexpected, leaving no taboo unturned.
