The European Review of Books 8

29,10

The ERB is made up of the things you’d expect: fiction, essays, poetry, art, and reviews about Europe and from Europe. But there are also things inside you might not expect to find: pops of colours, ‘pearls’ of wisdom, multilingual articles, and pages joined together by perforated edges which need to be (gently) torn open to continue reading and keep track of your progress through the publication.
In this issue: the world in strawberry red. Schengen’s pseudo-borderless «Europe». A day in Minsk & an eternity at the border. A trip through Syria’s now-uninhabited terror apparatus (archivists needed). Cocoa farmers in Côte d’Ivoire, agricultural-novelists in Switzerland & France, tree-huggers in The Hague.
