The launch of Dalkey'sBest European Fiction series was nothing short of phenomenal, with wide-ranging coverage in international media such asTime magazine, theNew York TimesWall Street JournalChicago TribuneFinancial Times, and theGuardian; glowing reviews and interviews in print and online magazines such as theBelieverBookslutPaste, and theHuffington 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 madeBest European Fiction2010 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 inBest European Fiction2010.
