Beskrivelse

On the Calculation of Volume I follows Tara Selter, a woman trapped in a single day, November 18th, endlessly repeating. As she relives the same day over and over, she searches for a way to break free from this strange loop.

A poetic and gripping exploration of time and existence through one woman’s extraordinary experience.

Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize 2025 and winner of the 2022 Nordic Council Literature Prize, this novel has also been recognized as a New Yorker and Paris Review Book of the Year.

Tara Selter finds herself slipping out of time, waking every morning to the exact same date: November 18th. Each day, she experiences the familiar grey morning light of her Paris hotel, the song of a blackbird, and her husband’s surprise at her unexpected return. But while Tara remembers every repetition, those around her live this day as if for the first time and dismiss her attempts to explain.

As she nears her 365th repetition of November 18th, Tara senses that beneath the surface of this endlessly repeated day lies a secret path to escape. This poetic, page-turning masterpiece delves into the improbable nature of existence and the strange twists of fate that shape our lives.
