The launch of Dalkey's Best European Fiction series was nothing short of phenomenal, with wide-ranging coverage in international media such as Time magazine, the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Chicago Tribune, Financial Times, and the Guardian; glowing reviews and interviews in print and online magazines such as the Believer, Bookslut, Paste, and the Huffington Post; radio interviews with editor Aleksandar Hemon on NPR stations in the US and BBC Radio 3 and 4 in the UK; and a terrific response from booksellers, who made Best European Fiction 2010 an "Indie Next" pick and created table displays and special promotions throughout the US and UK. For 2011, Aleksandar Hemon is back as editor, along with a new preface by Colum McCann, and with a whole new cast of authors and stories, including work from countries not included in Best European Fiction 2010.… (más)
Fantastische en diverse selectie korte verhalen, zowel van (ondertussen) gevestigde waarden als (nog steeds) illustere en nog niet in het Nederlands vertaalde onbekenden. ( )
If you ever want to expand your literary experience of short stories then you can't go wrong with one of the books in this series; however, I would recommend the 2010 over the 2011. This edition has the best stories placed at the beginning with a lot of crap located near the end. One author from Denmark was so bad that I actually felt something come up in my throat. With that said here are my favorites in the 2011 edition: P. 7 Hilary Mantel has a wonderful EDA story from the inside out. p. 40 Merce Ibarz is a young girl's coming of age story p. 107 Teodorvici recants a tale of a boys and some geese so well I could picture every single detail p. 121 Goncalo Tavares from Portugal has a series of short, short stories that could be framed. Masterpieces each one. My favorite begins with this line "Sadness was so prevalent that people were paid to smile." p. 270 Eiriksdottir writes a story where she relates her father's abandonment to holes in people created by a selfish gene. This marks the turning point because after this story to the end there are some real woofers. ( )
