  12. On the Calculation of Volume (Book II) by Solvej BalleIn this second book of the 7-volume series, Tara Selter is continuing to live November 18th over and over. New patterns arise: the search for seasons to mark time leads her all the way north and all the way south. Her thoughts and behaviours become a mesmerizing routine. Her notes are markers of her life which appear nonsense to anyone else: disparate addresses, dates, meteorological conditions.

    Tara searches for new ways to create (or at least feel) the duration of time – from her search for seasons, recurring visits to one café, and her obsession with researching the Roman Empire – all the while butting up against the harsh truth, she realizes, that she is in a container, that everything is a container, that her going around in circles is like an animal in a cage, never to leave.

  7. James by Percival Everett
  8. The Island by Antigone Kefala
  9. Ultramarins by Mariette NavarroSome pretty language (the first few chapters especially describing the swim) but which shifted too far into metaphor throughout the novel that by the end I was wanting and expecting more. Some metaphors also felt overstretched or cheesy, like the pump malfunctioning:
    "Captain, it appears that the pump is adjusting its tempo, that it's playing, to make…, don't take me for a madman, to make a kind of music. Captain, do you copy?" (77)
    It felt too on the nose—the ship is a mechanical beast, the sailors think they're in control but they're not truly, nature follows its own rules, etc.

2024

  1. Vita Nova by Louise Glück
  2. Rejection by Tony Tulathimutte
  3. Professor Andersen's Night by Dag SolstadThroughout the book, I thought Pal Andersen showed himself to be overcome with cynicism yet too weak to cut through it; self-affected and pompous yet deeply insecure of his standing in society, even of what he dedicated his life to (the study of Ibsen); because of this, hyper-aware of how he's perceived, and always needing to ensure that people know he's educated/knows things; both full of himself and completely empty, a bit sad, and a bit of an asshole; self-absorbed and narcisstic; completely twisted – unable to take action, angry at himself at his inaction, and then smoothing over his inaction, to pacify himself, with empty reasoning.

    While he waffled throughout the book over whether to report this man to the police or not, I grew frustrated. He had all the power to change this situation and, yet, could never approach the point to do so. Towards the end, though, I began to understand a bit at what I think Solstad is trying to get at: Andersen's reasoning away of his inaction as emblematic of the death of God and the erosion of values, so that lack-of-value is a value in itself (i.e., Professor Andersen intellectualizing his noncommital inaction faced with witnessing a murder).

    I also appreciated the character analysis of the various invitees at the Boxing Day dinner.

    I wonder if the discussion of how the various characters' politics evolved from the 60s (radicalism) to the 90s (either stayed the course and now more traditional/conservative, or remained radical and followed the tide out with it) can be connected with Professer Andersen's inaction. How he is more traditional now, or at least is perceived more traditional now (e.g., he voted no to Norway joined the EEC in the 60s, a radical position, and then the same in the 90s, now a grey, dusty decision). He's trying to catch up to the times and remain true to himself, and grows frustrated at the distance between the two. So his inaction emerges from his attempts to 'be' both the 60s and 90s – eternally split between several versions of himself, always trying to 'do the right thing' or at least be perceived to have done it, always insecure at this split.

  15. Laissez-moi by Marcelle Sauvageot (twice)
  16. Flight by Lynn Steger Strong
  17. Pond by Claire-Louise BennettWritten in a conversational style; pauses and commas, small clauses
    Slightly elevated language, though

    Small ruminations on domestic life. Focus shifts gently from object to object: the pond, the neighbor, the window sill where she puts bowls of fruit. I particularly liked "Morning, Noon, & Night" – the second part.

    Turned from this (above) into a tedious delirium, groundless, situation-less. The protagonist thinking and re-thinking and closing thoughts and re-opening them. Final couple of sections were like this.

    "By the way": over 100 instances
    "Besides which"
    "As it turned out"
    "From time to time"

    Quite often I'm terribly disappointed by how things turn out, but that's usually my own fault for the simple reason that I'm too quick to conclude that things have turned out as fully as it is possible for them to turn, when in fact, quite often, they are still on the turn and have some way to go until they have turned out completely.

  20. Short Stories in Spanish for Beginners: Volume 1 by Olly Richards
  21. Four Reincarnations by Max Ritvo
  22. Olga Dies Dreaming by Xóchitl González
  23. The Novelist by Jordan CastroA very modern novel grounded in a rich history of literature of small noticings. Here I'm thinking of Nicholson Baker's work, as well as *Drifts* by Kate Zambreno. I appreciated Castro's usage of this formula while also interweaving his own unique additions. I loved the humor of this book: the passage when the protagonist first mentioned Jordan Castro — hilarious.
    I loved the mix of stream-of-consciousness, auto fiction, and metafiction in this work. It felt at once very straightforward and challenging to the idea of literature: what if my protagonist mentions reading *me*, following *me* on Twitter? Many relatable elements: trying to work on the Pandora's box of a computer, the psychological twitches and behaviors one goes through when procrastinating writing, the overall depiction of a certain kind of life.
