Maison Internationale des Associations, Rue des Savoises 15, Geneva
 
Based on Cărtărescu's own experience 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. The novel is grounded in the reality of Romania in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including frightening health care, the absurdities of the education system, and the misery of family life, while on a broad scale Solenoid's investigations of other universes, dimensions, and timelines attempt to reconcile the realms of life and art.
A highly-acclaimed master work of fiction from Mircea Cărtărescu*, Solenoid* is an existence (and eventually a cosmos) created by forking paths.
