Our first extra edition! The Europe Special 2024, adorned with the Europe-maps created for the ERB by the architect Rem Koolhaas and our designer, Patrick Doan.
It arrives on the occasion of the European elections, but transcends that occasion, too. The ERB exists to thicken the European intellectual atmosphere, and we’ve gathered some thickening agents: the best writing on Europe from our first five issues. This includes, alongside newer forays, Issue One’s foundational essays, because they still ring true. (It’s also a chance for readers who missed our sold-out first issue—now, dare we say it, a collector’s item).
Essays on Europa & the bull (the oldest myth in the European book), on the EU going to church, on Eurovision’s greatest loser, on the enduring puzzle of who will speak europeén, on Curzio Malaparte’s disintegrated Europe, and on the €0-bill that an editor keeps always in his wallet.
