Editor's Note:
Alles wat u altijd al wilde weten over 'De donkere kamer van Damokles' maar niet durfde te vragen.'De donkere kamer van Damokles' is zonder twijfel de bekendste roman uit het rijke oeuvre van Willem Frederik Hermans. Als begeleidend boekje schreef Hermans-biograaf Willem Otterspeer een biografisch essay over Hermans' inspiratiebronnen, de ontstaansgeschiedenis van de roman en de uiteenlopende reacties die deze klassieker door de jaren heen heeft uitgelokt. Ook probeert hij te achterhalen hoe Hermans als schrijver te werk ging en zoekt hij het antwoord op de nog altijd intrigerende vraag: heeft Dorbeck nu wel of niet bestaan? Een zoektocht die uiteindelijk vooral naar Hermans zelf leidt.
