Meet the Writer: Solvej Balle

Solvej Balle is one of Denmark’s most acclaimed contemporary writers. The latest chapter of her groundbreaking seven-volume novel On the Calculation of Volume* was recently shortlisted for the International Booker Prize. The story follows a woman caught in a single day that repeats endlessly, offering a profound meditation on existence and resistance to linear time.  

Balle’s writing moves effortlessly between the poetic and the philosophical, questioning how we narrate our lives, and how we measure and inhabit them. Join us for an evening dedicated to literature, language, and the radical imagination, with one of Europe’s most original literary voices.
