These two books contain short stories from (almost) every European country and have introduced me to many great authors who I had absolutely no idea about.
They don't quite live up to editor Aleksandar Hemon's bold claim about the 2010 edition, "How could we call ourselves a literate culture without it?" (Come on, pal - get a grip.) Nonetheless, these books are extremely important, and I don't know of any other anthologies operating on this kind of grand scale.
Long may this fucking excellent series continue.
