Praise For The SFWA European Hall of Fame: Sixteen Contemporary Masterpieces of Science Fiction from the Continent…
“A ground-breaking anthology. . . . The stories in The SFWA European Hall of Fame are not quite like any sf I've read before. Like much of the best sf, these stories tend to be allegorical, often absurdist, existential, and just plain weird. . . . You would be hard pressed to find another anthology whose works were more different from one another--and from the stories you're accustomed to--than this one. It's a mind-opening journey.”” —Cory Doctorow
