On the Calculation of Volume (Solvej Balle)
Several decades in the making, a seven-volume novel about a woman trapped in a 24-hour time loop. Its thematic inquiries include love and depression, but there’s way, way more. One of its recurring questions for me is - what is containment?

On the Calculation of Volume

“Four books (of a planned seven) have been translated so far and each release is eagerly anticipated — basically, time stops (or does it?) and we live in a world of endless November 18ths. Not sci-fi, moreso an examination of the beautiful patterns that make up our day-to-day.”

“Incredible premise. A meditation on time, loss and lonliness”

“I thought it’d be boring but I read through it nonstop. Reading 2-4 on list.”
