On the Calculation of Volume
The second volume of the landmark European masterpiece about a woman lost in time. I was sure that through careful listening you could solve any problem that might arise. If you really listened. The great questions in life. Everything. Tara Selter is searching for a way back into time. A year has passed, but Tara still wakes up to the same newspapers, and the same blank faces when she explains that she has seen this all before. Until one morning, she boards a train and finds herself in a new day. It is still the eighteenth of November, but the faces are different, the weather is colder.
On the Calculation of Volume
It seems so odd to me now, how one can be so unsettled by the improbable. When we know that our entire existence is founded on freak occurrences and improbable coincidences. That we wouldn’t be here at all if it weren’t for these curious twists of fate. The first volume of the poetic, page-turning masterpiece about one woman’s fall through the cracks of time. Tara Selter has slipped out of time. Every morning, she wakes up to the 18th of November. She no longer expects to wake up to the 19th of November, and she no longer remembers the 17th of November as if it were yesterday.

About the author
Solvej Balle
20 books543 followersSolvej Balle er en særegen stemme i dansk litteratur. Hun var del af en gruppe hovedsageligt kvindelige forfattere, som debuterede eller slog deres navne fast i begyndelsen af 90’erne. Siden Balle debuterede i 1986 med romanen ”Lyrefugl”, har hun udgivet ganske få værker, så det var en overraskelse, da hun i 2020 annoncerede det ambitiøse og filosofiske syvbindsværk ”Om udregning af rumfang”, som hun i 2022 modtog Nordisk Råds Litteraturpris for, for de første fire bind

Just finished volume two. Still breathtaking. I’ve never read anything like these.

My time is not a circle and it is not a line, it is not a wheel and it is not a river.
It is a space, a room, a pool, a vessel, a container.
It is a day one can step into. Again and again.
Not a stream which one can only dip into once.
Time doesn't fly anywhere. It stays still. It is a vessel.
Time has ground to a halt. My days are simple. They are all alike.
