📘 "Over de berekening van ruimte IV" by Solvej Balle, translated from Danish into Dutch by Adriaan van der Hoeven & Edith Koenders

This will be available later in 2025 in English as "On the Calculation of Volume IV".

No! Solvej Balle is the lord of cliffhangers and I'm dangling!

The first 50 pages or so, I thought this was going to be the first book in the series that I wouldn't like that much. I was wrong. Reading on, eventually it came to a point where I liked this volume the most so far. More answers, but also more new questions.

The Dutch translation of part 5 will be released in July, so if you see someone on hands and knees begging for it in a library purchase request next month, it's probably me.

I can't wait for other language regions to catch up, I want to read more people's reactions!

Book cover of 'over de berekening van ruimte IV'. It's fully red. A few black lines are placed to make the suggestion that the viewer is in a room or a different rectangular space. A somewhat lighter colored rectangle floats on the right side of the cover.Book cover of 'on the calculation of volume IV'. It's a blue-brown gradient cover, with white oval strip that contains the title, author name and translator name. Within the oval there's a vaguely see-through, floating blob of colors, appearing stuck within the oval, but nevertheless going under it on the right side, as if leaving.
