Storytelling

Last year i built an ai biographer for my parents. I wanted to capture their life stories and learn about ai voice. With my friend Avi, we built an agent that would talk to my mom and dad on the phone and it was trained to ask them personalized questions about their life. After each “chapter” was completed a separate agent would write it up Walter Isaacson style for everyone to read so people could follow along as the stories were told. Since then we have been experimenting with new ways to c...

On the Calculation of Volume (Book I): Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize

Check out On the Calculation of Volume (Book I): Shortlisted for the 2025 International Booker Prize - <p> <strong>A <em>NEW YORKER</em> BEST BOOK OF 2024</strong> </p><p> <strong>A <em>WASHINGTON POST</em> NOTABLE BOOK OF 2024</strong> </p><p> <strong>SHORTLISTED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE</strong> </p><p> <strong>LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR TRANSLATED LITERATURE</strong> </p><p>Tara Selter, the heroine of <em>On the Calculation of Volume</em>, has involuntarily stepped off the train of time: in her world, November eighteenth repeats itself endlessly. We meet Tara on her 122nd November 18th: she no longer experiences the changes of days, weeks, months, or seasons. She finds herself in a lonely new reality without being able to explain why: how is it that she wakes every morning into the same day, knowing to the exact second when the blackbird will burst into song and when the rain will begin? Will she ever be able to share her new life with her beloved and now chronically befuddled husband? And on top of her profound isolation and confusion, Tara takes in with pain how slight a difference she makes in the world. (As she puts it: "That's how little the activities of one person matter on the eighteenth of November.")</p><p>Balle is hypnotic and masterful in her remixing of the endless recursive day, creating curious little folds of time and foreshadowings: her flashbacks light up inside the text like old flash bulbs.</p><p>The first volume's gravitational pull--a force inverse to its constriction--has the effect of a strong tranquilizer, but a drug under which your powers of observation only grow sharper and more acute. Give in to the book's logic (its minute movements, its thrilling shifts, its slant wit, its slowing of time) and its spell is utterly intoxicating.</p><p>Solvej Balle's seven-volume novel wrings enthralling and magical new dimensions from time and its hapless, mortal subjects. As one Danish reviewer beautifully put it, Balle's fiction consists of <em>writing that listens</em>. "Reading her is like being caressed by language itself."</p> by Solvej Balle and Barbara J Haveland on Bookshop.org US!
