Almost every dictator, at one time or another, has put pen to
paper. Some have wrestled with ideas, with philosophy. Many have
merely vented - spewing their diatribes onto the page. Others have
made forays into fiction, poetry and drama… with varying degrees of
success. Noiser writer Duncan Barrett spoke to a man who’s made it
his mission to wade through all kinds of dictators’
writings. Daniel Kalder is author of The Infernal Library,
also published as Dictator Literature: A History of Bad Books by
Terrible People. Scroll down the Real Dictators feed for episodes
on the dictators mentioned in this conversation. The stories of
Jorge Rafael Videla and Benito Mussolini will be coming later this
year. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
