The European Review of Books #7

The European Review of Books is a magazine of culture and ideas, in English and in a writer’s own tongue. They publish book-length print issues three times a year, and digital pieces each week.

No review of books reviews only books, nor does it merely review. They publish many kinds of writing: fiction, travelogue, provocation, parody, poem, come what may. In general they champion the essayistic mode.

A good essay is the antidote to the measly opinion, the enemy of the airy platitude. They want avenues to the arcane, the profane, the grand.

Issue #7. DECEMBER 2024

Filled to the brim with delights: European news satire, the Chinese Communist Party’s favorite sci-fi series, fiction by Alba de Céspedes and Sergei Lebedev, reviews of novels by Olga Tokarczuk and Rachel Kushner, Yiddish gangster novels, anti-apartheid country music, hard-boiled Bulgarian horsemen and much, much more.
