Historically, English-language readers have been great fans of
European literature, and names like Franz Kafka, Gustave Flaubert,
and Thomas Mann are so familiar we hardly think of them as foreign
at all. What those writers brought to English-language literature
was a wide variety of new ideas, styles, and ways of seeing the
world. Yet times have changed, and how much do we even know about
the richly diverse literature being written in Europe today? Best
European Fiction 2010 is the inaugural installment of what will
become an annual anthology of stories from across Europe. Edited by
acclaimed Bosnian novelist and MacArthur Genius-Award winner
Aleksandar Hemon, and with dozens of editorial, media, and
programming partners in the U.S., UK, and Europe, the Best European
Fiction series will be a window onto what s happening right now in
literary scenes throughout Europe, where the next Kafka, Flaubert,
or Mann is waiting to be discovered. List of contributors Preface:
