| In this surrealistic existentialist novel, a school teacher in Romania (who has much in common with the author) seeks to escape from his boring life. A solenoid built into the foundation of his new house provides him with the ability to see or travel to "higher dimensions". In addition to his own explorations into higher dimensional geometry, the fictional protagonist of this novel learns about real 19th century mathematicians George Boole, his wife Mary Everest, and their son-in-law Charles Howard Hinton. (Hinton is especially well known for his work on and advocacy of higher dimensional mathematics, and in fact is the author of a work of mathematical fiction in this database.)
As I write this review in summer 2022, the first English translation is going to be published later this year. I hope to be able to update this entry once I have had a chance to read it. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
