About the author
Solvej Balle is a Danish writer whose fiction and theory explore time, perception, repetition, and the forms through which ordinary experience becomes strange.
On the Calculation of Volume is planned as a seven-volume cycle about a woman caught in 18 November. Barbara J. Haveland’s English translation has brought the sequence to a wider international readership.
Where to start
Start with On the Calculation of Volume I and continue in numbered order; the project accumulates its argument through variations in Tara Selter’s repeated day.
