Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How Hunger Is Measured is a novel about survival without heroics, care without comfort, and childhood without sentimentality.Set in post-Soviet Siberia, the book follows Mary and her grandson Misha as they navigate a world where scarcity is not dramatic but procedural. Hunger is not described… as pain. It is counted, rationed, anticipated. Warmth is temporary. Freedom exists only in places that have not yet learned how to organize it.Mary is not a moral symbol. She is an operator. Her care is expressed through timing, silence, and subtraction-knowing when to speak, when to wait, when to move, and when not to be seen at all. Misha learns not through explanation but through alignment: posture, breath, imitation. He understands rules before he understands meaning.As the landscape narrows-from open spaces to managed ones, from waiting rooms to holding areas-the book traces how people are not broken by power but reclassified by it. Assistance arrives without rescue. Instructions replace choices. Waiting becomes a filter. By the time a clear direction is finally given-return tomorrow-it functions not as hope, but as containment.This is not a story of triumph.It is a study in adaptation.Written in a restrained, unsentimental style, How Hunger Is Measured refuses catharsis and explanation. It does not dramatize suffering or redeem endurance. Instead, it observes how systems absorb people quietly, how care can function as control, and how survival becomes indistinguishable from compliance.Part of The Temporary Arrangements Series, this novel stands alone while continuing a broader examination of modern power, waiting, and usefulness.This book is for readers who value: - Literary fiction without sentimentality- Quiet, procedural tension- Stories that diagnose rather than consoleIt does not ask for sympathy.It asks for attention.
