Solenoid | Mircea C?rt?rescu

Pickpick

Solenoid is so many things that an effort to describe it becomes merely a list of adjectives that distract from the fact that above all else this is an absolutely beautiful novel.

Cartarescu‘s writing (translated by Sean Cotter) is vivid and flowing, I would gladly read him describing a walk to the mailbox.

Kaag This novel has a very interior feel to it. The author is drawing from his life experience, the diarist in the novel is documenting his life, there is a focus on self reflection and a connection to the city at the center of it all, Bucharest.

Solenoid showcases the best of magical realism in what has to be one of my top 5 novels.

Solenoid | Mircea Cărtărescu

Eu cred că este o carte voluminoasă, atât ca și conținut, cât și pagini. Dar merită citită.
I believe it is a book with a lot of pages, but also a heavy subject. But I believe it is worthy of reading...
