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.

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.
