(Beletrina 2016, 10,00€) About the book: “Refugees. We don’t want anything to do with them, we don’t like them, we’re afraid of them. They’re different, difficult, ungrateful, uncivilized and dangerous. They should stay where they are or go somewhere else.
A passionate, humane, darkly humorous book about Them that say more about Us.”
