Best European Fiction 2015 West Camel, Editor
With a Preface by Enrique Vila-Matas
For the past five years, this anthology has stirred reactions across the globe, exciting readers, critics, and publishers alike. Bringing new names and the work of European writers to an international audience has proved the vitality of writing from Europe at a time when translations have dramatically shrunk in the United States and England, thereby depriving readers of access to some of the best writing done in the world today.
“Every piece benefits serious fiction lovers’ reading experience.” —Booklist (starred review)
“An exhiliarating read.”

As in past Best European Fiction volumes, special attention is paid to writers that hail from smaller countries, such as Albania, Ukraine, Belarus, Croatia, Serbia, Slovakia, Latvia, and Estonia, and are often overlooked in favor of the major languages. This tradition continues with the present volume. With a preface by the internationally known writer Enrique Vila-Matas, Best European Fiction 2015 assumes its place among the major collections disseminating important voices throughout the English-speaking world.
