RECEPTION & ORIENTATION
Hello, I'm Daniel Kalder. Welcome to my online chambers.
To the right you will see the cover of my latest book, The Infernal Library, which is the
world's first study of the dictatorial canon, that is to say, books written by dictators, that
is to say, the worst books in the history of the human species. You can listen to me talk
about it in this informative interview or dive into this essay on the novels of
Mussolini and Saddam Hussein (among others). You can order it here.
In the UK it is called Dictator Literature and it can be ordered here.
Below is some information about my other work. Thank you for stopping by.
Regards,
Daniel Kalder
