On The Calculation Of Volume

Beskrivelse

Tara Selter finds herself among many in a vast villa near Bremen, navigating a new kind of eighteenth of November. Her life with Henry, Ralf, and Olga is centered on everyday tasks until unexpected visitors arrive, changing everything.

An evocative exploration of time and community as new arrivals transform a shared space.

In a sprawling villa on the outskirts of Bremen, Tara Selter begins to adjust to a different eighteenth of November. Her days with Henry, Ralf, and Olga are filled with practical chores like gathering supplies and chopping firewood. However, one morning brings five strangers to their wrought-iron gate. As more people continue to come, the house buzzes with activity and voices, with newcomers exchanging their own eighteenth of November stories.

Gradually, they all find a new rhythm, and Tara starts to feel a sense of relief. Together, they wonder if it’s possible to build a new world within this shared eighteenth of November. This is the fourth volume of the poetic and gripping European masterpiece, On the Calculation of Volume IV, which follows one woman’s journey through the fractures of time.

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and winner of the Nordic Council Prize for Literature, this remarkable novel has been praised as “absolutely, absolutely incredible” by Karl Ove Knausgard.
