Imprints
Tonga books was an editorial enterprise undertaken by Europa Editions in collaboration with American author Alice Sebold, who acquired and edited four works of fiction published by Europa under the series name Tonga Books. In 2013, Europa launched its series of international crime fiction, Europa World Noir. Publishers Weekly wrote that the series signaled Europa's "reaffirmed enthusiasm for noir." [[Europa Editions#cite note-17|[17]]] Notable titles in the series include Gene Kerrigan's Gold Dagger Award-winning The Rage, Jean-Claude Izzo’s Total Chaos, which launched the Mediterranean Noir movement, and the reissue of Scottish crime writer William McIlvanney’s Laidlaw books. Karin Brynard's Weeping Waters was published by Europa's imprint World Noir in 2018. It has been shortlisted for 2019 prestigious Crime Writers’ Association (CWA) International Dagger. Europa launched Europa Compass, a new nonfiction imprint featuring titles on travel, contemporary culture, popular science, history, philosophy, and politics.
