Marcel Gunst, Overijse, Belgium

“Justin Stares mercilessly unravels the tangled Belgian knot, with the Walloon-Brussels economy in free fall ... French-speakers wallowing in past glory, wealthy Flemings full of inferiority complexes, and nostalgic dialect speakers... standing undecided before a Belgian state they are destroying with their nationalism... a witch's brew in the core of Europe that will sooner or later explode.”
