A pioneering work of dystopian fiction from one of Swedens most acclaimed writersWritten midway between Brave New World and Nineteen EightyFour, as the terrible events of the Second World War were unfolding, Kallocain depicts a totalitarian World State which seeks to crush the individual entirely. In this desolate, paranoid landscape of police eyes and police ears, the obedient citizen and middleranking scientist Leo Kall discovers a drug that will force anyone who takes it to tell the truth. But can private thought really be obliterated? Karin Boyes chilling novel of creeping alienation shows the dangers of acquiescence and the power of resistance, no matter how futile.Translated with an introduction by David McDuff
