The European Review of Books №9

The European Review of Books is a magazine of culture and ideas, in print and online, in English and in a writer’s own tongue. They publish book-length print issues three times a year, and digital pieces each week. In 2021, they launched a crowdfunding campaign, to raise funds for early contributors, along with a digital opuscule of early essays, stories, and explorations. Issue One appeared in June 2022. This issue is Blue, with a layer of aquamarine. Zaporizhzhia’s nuclear plant, rails that still run through Ukraine’s war, and a Ukrainian great-grandmother turned icon of pro-Russian cosplay. Plants in Bulgaria repackaged for Western wellness and Bolívar’s tongue stretched across continents. Untranslatable names, Joséphine Baker on Palestine’s seafront, and wicked fables for a liquid Europe.
