京都洋書読書会Meetup--Kyoto English Book Club Meetup
Details
1. We'll discuss "On the Calculation of Volume 1" by Solvej Balle. (162 pages long)
About the book--- "Tara Selter, a rare-books dealer, finds herself trapped in a time loop: every morning she wakes to November 18 again—endlessly repeating the same day while everyone else acts as if it’s new. Only she remembers the previous loops. As she grows increasingly isolated, she tries to test the rules of her situation, hold on to what reality remains, and explore whether escape is possible".

one third of it before the the meetup.
