Solenoid - Mircea Cărtărescu - 2023 By: Mircea Cărtărescu, Sean Cotter - translator Narrated by: Paul Boehmer Length: 34 hrs and 4 mins Unabridged Audiobook Release date: 02-14-23 Categories: Literature & Fiction Language: English Publisher: Tantor Audio Format: mp3 64/48 mono Publisher's Summary: A highly acclaimed master work of fiction from Cartarescu, author of Blinding Based on Cartarescu's own role as a high school teacher, Solenoid begins with the mundane details of a diarist's life and quickly spirals into a philosophical account of life, history, philosophy, and mathematics. One character asks another: when you rush into the burning building, will you save the newborn or the artwork? On a broad scale, the novel's investigations of other universes, dimensions, and timelines reconcile the realms of life and art. The novel is grounded in the reality of late 1970s/early 1980s Communist Romania, including long lines for groceries, the absurdities of the education system, and the misery of family life. The text includes sequences in a tuberculosis sanatorium, an encounter with an anti-death protest movement, a society of dream investigators, and an extended visit to the miniscule world of dust mites living on a microscope slide. Combining fiction with autobiography and history, Solenoid ruminates on the exchanges possible between the alternate dimensions of life and art, as various, monstrous dimensions erupt within the Communist present. ©2022 Sean Cotter (P)2023 Tantor 24/7 Seedbox Support
