Solenoid
Mircea Cărtărescu
What if the lines between reality, memory, and imagination could collapse into one universe?
Solenoid by Mircea Cărtărescu, draws on his experiences as a high school teacher. Beginning with a diarist’s everyday life, it expands into a philosophical exploration of history, mathematics, and art.
Set in late 1970s and early 1980s Communist Romania, the novel blends fiction, autobiography, and history to examine life, art, and alternate realities. It explores grocery lines, school absurdities, dream investigators, and even microscopic worlds.
