Dictators' Homes

Over at Chislehurst today for lunch with a priest friend. Today we were fortunate to get the table next to the log fire at the Tiger's Head. My friend's brother gave him a book for Christmas that I found very amusing: Dictators' Homes. Lifestyles of the World's Most Colourful Despots. This is a sure-fire conversation-piece coffee table book with lavish colour photographs illustrating the generally execrable taste of the average megalomaniac. The text is witty, referring to various examples of "tyrant kitsch."
