On the Calculation of Volume, by Solvej Balle.

It's a septology, curiously self-published by an established author, which she started on decades ago. Books 1 through 5 are out in Danish. The main plot device is superficially reminiscent of Groundhog Day, but with a completely different execution. Starts out kind of claustrophobic, then goes through these waves of revelations and disappointment and hypothesizing and hopefulness and rebuilding. I find it hard to compare to anything.
