This was not as good as expected! Small translated works of fiction from across the continent are a GREAT idea! But I guess I needed more context of these countries, and needed to be in the right mindset to absorb European literature (especially not in the original language, except for the United Kingdom one) which is so very different than what I normally jump to. From here, I guess I'll go onto more Southern and closer anthologies.
