Europe Central (2005) is a novel by William T. Vollmann that won the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction .

It is set in central Europe during the 20th century and examines a vast array of characters, ranging from generals to martyrs, officers to poets, traitors to artists and musicians. It deals with the moral decisions made by people in the most testing of times and offers a perspective on human actions during wartime. Vollmann makes use of many historical figures as characters including composer Dmitri Shostakovich , artist Käthe Kollwitz , film director Roman Karmen , poet Anna Akhmatova , SS officer Kurt Ger

In an afterword, Vollmann admits that, while the book is heavily researched and mostly features real people, the work should be regarded as fiction. He calls it "a series of parables about famous, infamous and anonymous European moral actors at moments of decision." Though largely true to history, a number of anecdotes or details are created by the author, such as the "imaginary love triangle" between Shostakovich , Roman Karmen , and Elena Konstantinovskaya.
