Romanian author Mircea Cărtărescu receives Dublin Literary Prize 2024 for his monumental novel “Solenoide”
“The book, which Cărtărescu based on his role as a secondary-school teacher, is grounded in the realities of life in communist Romania in the late 1970s and early 1980s, including long lines for groceries, the absurdities of the education system and the misery of family life. After beginning with the mundane details of a diarist’s life, it quickly spirals into a philosophical account of life, history, philosophy and mathematics.” The Irish Times
