For the past six years, this anthology has stirred significant reactions around the globe, exciting readers, critics, and publishers alike, showing the vitality of writing from Europe at a time when the number of translations being published in English has dramatically shrunk, thereby depriving readers of access to some of the best fiction being written in the world today. As in past volumes, special attention has been paid to those regions and languages that are usually overlooked in favor of larger world powers.
