On the Calculation of Volume

The International Booker Prize-shortlisted European masterpiece continues.

Balle Solvej: On the Calculation of
Volume IV / LF

On the Calculation of Volume IV

'The greatest literary work of the 21st century' Herald

Tara Selter is no longer alone. Tara Selter has lived the eighteenth of November 1,143 times when she notices a break in the pattern: a man has changed his shirt. The man is Henry Dale, and he remembers all the days that have come before. He knows that time has fallen out of joint. Now they are two of a kind - trapped in the eighteenth of November, but no longer alone. Together they learn to share their present; their voices grow hoarse recounting their small battles against it and their bewilderment at the disintegrating world. Henry sees things differently to Tara: he does not think that time will put itself back together and he does not think that the future will come around. But he makes her realise that she is no longer the same person she was before this fault in time. And he makes her believe that there may be others to find within it. Shortlisted for the International Booker Prize and Winner of the Nordic Council Prize for Literature, On the Calculation of Volume III is the third volume of the poetic, page-turning European masterpiece about one woman's fall through the cracks of time. A New York Times notable book of 2025 'Absolutely, absolutely incredible.' Karl Ove Knausgård 'Endlessly interesting.' Guardian 'A total explosion.' Nicole Krauss 'Extraordinary.' Daisy Johnson 'Unforgettable.' Hernan Díaz 'Breathtaking.' Chetna Maroo 'Absolutely marvellous.' Lauren Groff

It’s Not What You Think

'A testament to love's fortitude in a tumultuous world' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Passionate and powerful, a love story that will grip you until the very end' ABIGAIL BERGSTROM, author of WHAT A SHAME 'A beautiful, vivid, gut-punch of a novel' EMMA STONEX, author of THE LAMPLIGHTERS 'A powerful and emotional novel which spans continents' MIRROR 'Compelling and deeply moving . . . so absorbing' EXPRESS 'Beautiful . . . a wonderful and remarkable novel that I would happily read all over again' ORE AGBAJE-WILLIAMS, author of THE THREE OF US 'Rings true on every level . . . above all, in its glorious depiction of love' CATHERINE MAYER, author of ATTACK OF THE 50FT WOMEN London, 1990. Zivoin is newly arrived in a strange country. The dependable oldest son, he works all hours of the day and night, sending every penny he can save back to his family. On the news, he watches his homeland, Yugoslavia, slowly fracturing. Thousands of miles away, in the tropical heat of Uberlândia, Brazil, Alegria prepares to leave behind the country - and the family - she loves dearly. Bright and ambitious, she strives to give her parents the life they deserve, even if it takes her far from them. A chance meeting throws Alegria and Zivoin together - and for a brief moment, they feel at home. But their journey is just beginning, and what follows will draw them irresistibly across countries and continents, leaving them both forever changed. The powerful, exhilarating debut novel from an award-winning new voice in fiction, Strangerland is a heartfelt testament to the endurance that has come to define a generation of immigrants. Above all, it is a soaring, emotionally rich story about the power of love to transcend languages, borders and time.

Strangerland

A painter. A priest. One hot New York summer. 'A genuinely swoony summer romance' New York Times 'Brilliant' Raven Leilani 'Stunning' Observer Wyeth is a newcomer to New York, a young Black painter who is trying to find his place in the contemporary Manhattan art scene. He shares a studio with his friends and earns money working for a gallery and an art restorer but he's struggling with his portrait painting, unable to truly capture the life of his subjects. Then he meets Keating, a white former priest struggling with his faith. The two men seemingly have nothing in common, and yet Keating shows Wyeth how to see the world anew. But as the men grow closer, the differences between them become more stark, until Wyeth and Keating must decide what they are willing to risk - for art and for love. 'One of the most perfect books I've ever read' NPR 'A piercing, precise, and affecting tale of young love and high art' Kirkus 'One of the most accomplished, important novelists of his generation' Guardian 'Brandon Taylor is without a doubt our laureate of hyper-intelligent yearning - nobody does it better' Lit Hub

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A kaleidoscopic portrait of a modern American family—steadfast, complicated, begrudging, and loving—from the bestselling author of Isola “Wise, witty . . . a deliciously readable book [about] the delicate minutiae of family life, played beautifully, boldly, brightly in a major key.”—The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “Goodman’s mature and deftly written book suggests that, in family as in art, there is no such thing as uncomplicated happiness.”—The Wall Street Journal Was this just a brief skirmish, or the beginning of a thirty-year feud? In the Rubinstein family, it could go either way. When their beloved sister passes away, Sylvia and Helen Rubinstein are unmoored. A misunderstanding about apple cake turns into a decade of stubborn silence. Busy with their own lives—divorces, dating, career setbacks, college applications, bat mitzvahs and ballet recitals—their children do not want to get involved. As for their grandchildren? Impossible. With This Is Not About Us, master storyteller Allegra Goodman—whose prior collection was heralded as “one of the most astute and engaging books about American family life” (The Boston Globe)—returns to the form and subject that endeared her to legions of readers. Sharply observed and laced with humor, This Is Not About Us is a story of growing up and growing old, the weight of parental expectations, and the complex connection between sisters—a big-hearted book about the love that binds a family across generations.

A Memory of Violets

"A glamorous, intriguing novel" (New York Times) about a jaded movie star and the two differently conflicted women in his orbit.Some people you meet them and you imagine this movie together. The two of you make a kind of movie and then it’s over. Other people, what you imagine isn’t a movie, because it keeps going. It’s television . . . If you can’t see how romantic television is, you’re blind.An aging, A-list movie star lotteries off the entirety of his mega-million blockbuster salary to a member of the general viewing public before taking up with a much younger model. His non-famous best friend (and often lover) looks on impassively, while recollecting their twenty-odd years of unlikely connection. And an aspiring filmmaker, unknown to them both, labors over a script about best friends and lovers while longing for the financial freedom to make great art.Told in their alternating, intricately linked perspectives, Television is a funny, philosophically astute novel about phenomenal luck, whether windfall or chance encounter. Like Joan Didion’s classic Play It as It Lays, but speaking to a since irrevocably changed Hollywood, it portrays a culture in crisis and the disparities in wealth, beauty, talent, gender, and youth at the heart of contemporary American life. In this glittering but strange new world, lit up by social media and streaming services—what, if not love, can be counted in your favor?With plays in chronology, bright, nimble dialogue, and a profoundly modern style, Lauren Rothery’s debut novel is an arresting feat of literary impressionism, and marks the arrival of a significant new talent to the landscape of American fiction.
