Tres historias interconectadas dan voz a mujeres cuyas vidas han sido truncadas por fuerzas que escapan a su control: el exilio, la enfermedad, la prisión. Estos relatos culminan en una novela coral experimental donde el «edificio de piedra» funciona como metáfora de las instituciones opresivas --cárceles, hospitales, comisarías, manicomios-- que moldean y limitan la existencia. Con una prosa contenida, luminosa y profundamente política, Aslı Erdoğan ofrece un retrato implacable de la alienación, la impotencia y la resistencia silenciosa.
Three interconnected narratives give voice to women whose lives have been disrupted by forces beyond their control: exile, illness, imprisonment. These stories culminate in an experimental choral novel in which the "stone building" becomes a metaphor for oppressive institutions--prisons, hospitals, police stations, psychiatric wards--that shape and confine existence. With restrained, luminous, and deeply political prose, Aslı Erdoğan delivers an unflinching portrait of alienation, powerlessness, and quiet resistance.
