On the Calculation of Volume (Book I)

200,00 kr.

Longlisted for the 2024 National Book Award in Translation, the grand opening of Balle’s speculative fiction septology, winner of the Nordic Council Literature Prize (Scandinavia’s most important literary award) for being“a masterpiece of its time.

Tara Selter, the heroine of On the Calculation of Volume, has involuntarily stepped off the train of time: in her world, November eighteenth repeats itself endlessly. We meet Tara on her 122nd November 18th: she no longer experiences the changes of days, weeks, months, or seasons. She finds herself in a lonely new reality without being able to explain why: how is it that she wakes every morning into the same day, knowing to the exact second when the blackbird will burst into song and when the rain will begin? Will she ever be able to share her new life with her beloved and now chronically befuddled husband?
