Marginalia Book Club: Reading Women in Translation
Neukölln, Neukölln, Berlin, Germany, Berlin, BE, DEWelcome to the inaugural book club meeting of Marginalia: Reading Women in Translation!
For Wednesday, November 18, we'll be reading the first book of Danish author Solvej Balle's revolutionary septology On the Calculation of Volume, translated by Barbara J. Haveland*.* Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize, this novella wrings enthralling and magical new dimensions from time and its hapless, mortal subjects via an endless recursive day. As one Danish reviewer beautifully put it, Balle’s fiction consists of writing that listens: “Reading her is like being caressed by language itself.”
The first meeting will be held in Neukölln at 7:00 PM. Exact location TBC, I will announce it closer to the event date in the chat.
