I'm going to have a bit of a break before picking up the next one, but I am really looking forward to reading it.

On volume 4 (in German) of Solvej Balle’s #onthecalculationofvolume & I still think it’s a bit weird that no one has thought of trying to fly across the international date line #ÜberdieBerechnungdesRauminhalts #solvejballe

I just finished reading “On the Calculation of Volume 1” by #solvejballe —a great read—and switched to something new, but couldn’t remember what. I checked my e-reader. “Murderbot”! Whee! The first page is already so funny. I love @marthawells.com sense of humor and cleverness.
#SolvejBalle is hypnotic and masterful in her remixing of the endless recursive day, creating curious little folds of time and foreshadowings: her flashbacks light up inside the text like old flash bulbs. @NewDirections amzn.to/4aayZ6a #ad #StevosNovelIdeas #booksky
#SolvejBalle deserves her name in the headline
These are my projected last 4 books of the year:
1. #KillingTheDead by #JohnBlair
2. #TheStrengthoftheFew by #JamesIslington
3. #TheMaster by #ColmTóibín (who I love 💜)
4. #OntheCalculationofVolumeI by #SolvejBalle

No clue how you write about this multi-volume novel without mentioning Ducks, Newburyport. #fiction #solvejballe

Happy On the Calculation of Volume Vol. 3 release day!!!! My copy is in a box at Recycle Bookstore that hasn’t been opened yet, so I’ll be stalking the store. #solvejballe

"On the Calculation of Volume" by Solvej Balle
Fantastic book. I read it in one day. I don't think I've done that before.
It's a Danish book about a woman stuck in a time loop, like Groundhog Day, but with some notable differences. Like, if she buys things, she […]

These are the first 2 English language translations of the first 5 Danish language novels in a 7-volume series. Volume I was Booker longlisted. Never quite felt such anticipation for a book as I have for volume three this autumn. #SolvejBalle #OnTheCalculationOfVolume @faberbooks.bsky.social
Hard to describe quite how brilliant these books are. A Danish book dealer is imprisoned in a timeloop; every evening November 18 draws to a close, every morning it restarts again. They do that rare thing of making the world feel different when you put them down. @faberbooks.bsky.social #SolvejBalle

Thomas leaves no trail…a pattern in the house, I am a monster in the guest room...a monster in a finite world…How long can my little world endure me…The day has slowed down, my world has shrunk or I have grown, I don't know which.
