description:  Problemski Hotel is an extremely fascinating book in which the daily life of asylum-seekers is related in an inimitable way . . . A profound portrayal of a group of people with no future. De Standaard der Letteren A comic novel on a very serious subject. Dimitri Verhulst an investigative journalist had himself locked up in the asylum-seekers center at Arendonk for several days for a Flemish magazine. He then wrote a magazine article but the experience would not let go of him. He wrote this comic unabashedly politically incorrect novel which is told from the perspective of asylum-seeker Bipul Masli a press photographer from Somalia. The action takes place in an asylum-seekers center in Belgium in the final weeks of 2001.
