Начало книги

“Best European Fiction 2010… offers an appealingly diverse look at the Continent’s fiction scene.” THE NEW YORK TIMES

“The work is vibrant, varied, sometimes downright odd. As [Zadie] Smith says [in her preface]: ‘I was educated in a largely Anglo-American library, and it is sometimes dull to stare at the same four walls all day.’ Here’s the antidote.” FINANCIAL TIMES
