Abstract Using works by Hafid Bouazza, Najat El Hachmi, Tsjêbbe Hettinga, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, Leïla Slimani, Zadie Smith, and Kjell Westö, this book looks at post-national feelings of belonging in contemporary European literature.

In their literary work and authorship, these authors turn to imagine larger worlds, within and beyond Europe, to escape the confinements of the national and to imagine communities created through connections and solidarities they choose to sustain.
