... reflecting and commenting on her writerly practices, her ideas, her research and her earlier novels. The interview by Louisiana Channel leads beautifully up to a lot of what “The Wax Child” is about.

I finished this one yesterday and while I admired it, I can’t say I loved it - interesting but won’t end up on my best of lists.
Probably means it will go on to win now - I have dreadful form with picking #InternationalBookerPrize winners!

A yellow book cover with black text reading “On the Calculation of Volume” by Solvej Balle. The title words “THE”, “CALCULATION”, and “VOLUME” are underlined. The center of the cover features a photo of a person with short reddish hair, wearing a green top, looking out a window.
My goodness this stressed me out! No resolution, no light at the end of the tunnel, no happy ending! Did I enjoy it? No. Will I read the next one? Absolutely!
I found this well written, compelling and reminded me of an anxiety inducing story by Shirley Jackson. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
