Best European Fiction (Paperback)

By Aleksandar Hemon (Editor)
$15.95
Usually Ships in 1-5 days

Description

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.

Best European Fiction 2010 is the inaugural installment of what will become an annual anthology of stories from across Europe.
