In a world where the gates between waking and dreaming dissolve, F.D.P., the wandering poet, invites you into a hostel of infinite corridors. A hostel where every room is a gateway to another continent,.Is his journey an escape from the world or a feverish attempt to embrace it whole? In Hostel Infinito, the truth is not a destination, but the path itself... a path mined with hallucinations, paved with tales that might cost you your sanity. Dare to enter, for you might just find yourself in a room you never knew existed within you. Sulfur Editions is honored to present to our esteemed readers a unique work that shatters conventional narrative molds: Hostel Infinito by Paul Mihalache. In this book, Mihalache takes us on an extraordinary journey alongside a character who is both real and astonishing: the poet "Florin" or F.D.P., a traveler who has made the world his home and the poem his compass. Through recordings and conversations spanning months, we delve into the enchanting and turbulent world of "F.D.P.", a world where reality merges with fantasy, and the mundane with the mythical. Hostel Infinito is not merely traditional travel literature; it is a profound exploration of the meaning of the perpetual search-the search for love, for spiritual salvation, and for the self in the most bizarre and astonishing corners of the globe. Through the eyes of F.D.P., we see the world as a surrealist poem, written in a language understood only by those who dare to lose their way on purpose. Paul Mihalache is a prose writer and poet from Romania. He graduated with a degree in Philosophy in 2007, then went on to complete three master's degrees and a PhD in Comparative and World Literature. He has published two short story collections (winning the debut prize in 2008 for Ceasuri tîrzii - Late Hours), the novel Tîrg de arlechini (Harlequins' Fair), which earned him the 2012 award for best Romanian fiction writer under 35, and two poetry collections. His upcoming novel, Hostel Infinito, is set to be published in both Romanian and English by Sulfur Press in Cairo. He has translated over ten works of fiction from English and is a regular contributor of essays and literary criticism to Romania's leading literary magazines.
