THROUGHED WITH MYSTICISM - VPROGIDS
about Solenoid of Mircea Cărtărescu
“The text of Solenoid It is full of literary references, every book 'a slit through which I could look into the brain of a human being'. The book is a labyrinth, just like the 'ship-shaped house' where the teacher lives. Around every corner, he finds a different network of passages, different colors and materials. A solenoid has been placed in the basement, a magnetic coil that turns his house into a magical place where he can float above his bed. Handy for sex, with a colleague from school for whom he develops true love, and during sleep. In the thousands of rooms, halls, and passages to other realities, the teacher wanders around, dreams, and records everything in this overwhelmingly ingenious, moving book.‘
