Problemski Hotel by Dimitri Verhulst translated into Portugese
Dimitri Verhulst's 'Hotel Problemski', in a translation by Arie Pos, now joins Geert Kimpen's 'O Cabalista' on the shelves of Portugese bookstores. Publisher Mercado de Letras achieved a first: the book was selected by the UNESCO as a 'representative title' and is hence published with an introduction by UN High Commissioner for Refugees, António Guterres.
From the introduction:
(...) Dimitri Verhulst masterfully succeeds in giving these global trends a human scale. He paints a truly fascinating picture of what it is like to get caught in these mazes. I do not think anyone can remain unmoved as he or she reads and discovers these characters and situations.
