Praise for The SFWA European Hall of Fame

“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.”

“Wondrous worlds await US fans in this sensitively chosen, impeccably translated anthology of Continental European science fiction stories.  These ‘disciplined speculations’ by European writers and their painstaking translators not only excite the mind, they move the heart.”
--Publishers Weekly, (starred review)

For me, most of these stor ...more
