The SFWA European Hall of Fame

“A superior anthology” of stories from some of Europe's science fiction masters (Sci Fi Weekly).

The SFWA Hall of Fame collects sixteen science fiction tales translated from thirteen languages. Editors James and Kathryn strove to find stories that would engage English-speaking readers through familiar motifs—aliens, dystopias, time travel, space exploration, artificial intelligence—while simultaneously showcasing the distinctive and exotic flavors of European SF, from the philosophical to the phantasmagoric.

“Elegant and exhilarating.” —The New York Review of Science Fiction

“A remarkable achievement. . . . Beautifully translated. . . . Science fiction is the literature of ideas, and the more geographically diverse the authors, the more broad the spectrum of ideas we will be exposed to. The fact that the editors were able to do so while still conveying the beautiful styles and poetry of the authors involved is icing on this already beautiful cake.” —SFRevu

“Very intelligent. . . . One thing that emerges repeatedly is the eclecticism of the influences apparent among these selections. Even when American traditions are clearly evident, there is often a freshness of approach that can take almost clichéd material and reinvent it.” —Locus
