The subject of "multi-culturalism" versus "Eurocentrism" has been much debated in the United States, most often as if "Europe" was a single cultural entity. This notion is encouraged by the development of the European Economic Community, a vision of a politically and economically united Europe. The short stories included in The Graywolf Annual 9: Stories from the New Europe illustrate another vision: the remarkable variety of European cultures, from the individual voices of the former Soviet Baltic states to the nuances of Croat/Serb and Czech/Slovak voices, and the surprising strength of Euzkadi (Basque), Icelandic, Irish, immigrant, and Catalan cultures. Despite political pressures to unify under artificial boundaries, economic pressures of the EEC, and a mass market and communications system that threatens to overwhelm localized customs and concerns; ancient, deep-rooted cultures and languages have managed to survive. In a precise counterbalance to the strength of mass culture, regional identities are in fact blossoming throughout Europe. These stories are told by writers whose use of their native language has resulted in their imprisonment, by Nobel Prize winners, by writers whose large audience is entirely "underground." Among authors included in this Graywolf Annual are Ivan Kliacute;ma, Mercegrave; Rodoreda, Danilo Kis, Halldoacute;r Laxness, and Dubravka Ugresic.

"The Graywolf Annual: Short Stories" "Among the literary presses, the Graywolf Annual has developed a reputation for quality."--"Seattle Times/Seattle Post-Intelligencer" "The Graywolf Annual: Short Stories," first published in 1985, was a celebration-in-print of the renaissance of the short story. For years, fewer and fewer short stories were being published in general magazines and fewer collections of stories were being issued by book publishers. Increasingly, though, a growing number of writers turned their considerable talents to revitalizing the short story form. Enthusiastic readers found short stories to be perfectly suited to our times: neat little bundles of life-as-it-is-truly-lived to be read in one sitting by the commuter, the traveller, or the busy person in search of intellectual nourishment and pleasure. Our premier issue of the "Graywolf Annual" salutes this literary renaissance by presenting a dozen stories by such gifted authors as Elizabeth Tallent, Richard Ford, Ellen Gilchrist, Tobias Wolff, and Margaret Atwood.

For nearly all of human history, our notion of community was centered on the family, tribe, and/or village. The centrality of that notion is at the core of our values. The 20th century brought air travel, a revolution in communications, the internationalization of culture and business, the growth of an "international language"--all in all, a complete overturning of our historic understanding of community. As a result, we now have to think about the many different levels and many new faces of community. Our families are nuclear, extended, and broken; few of us live in one place our entire lives, and most of our cities, towns, and regions change beyond recognition every few years. The concept of the nation-state itself is breaking down, and people are more closely identifying with biogegional, religious, or ethnic communities. Incorporating essays from a diverse range of sources such as "Parabola," "Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture," the "New Yorker," and The Well, a national computerized bulletin board, "Changing Community" examines the ways that our ideas of community are evolving.
