None. Hillarious, engaging, sexy. What more could you ask for? ( )Took this one home with me from the shelf of one of the BookCrossers who attended the meeting at Terschelling. She needed her English books to move again :-) This does not sound like the Roald Dahl I remember. Color me intrigued. I knew Roald Dahl wrote fiction for adults. I had no idea I would be as amused as I was. Dahl explores sexuality from various angles, here, as he does other temptations in his children books. I was fond of the Uncle Oswald stories, and I cannot wait to read more. The stories of a man who is known for his sexuality, for his success rates, for his charisma, were even more cherished when the reader is granted access to the truth about what the end result is of the fantasies. While the bite of "The Great Switcheroo" was a bit cliche, I admit to wanting to know, "what then?" "The Last Act" made me cry. Imaginative and well-written, but although I realize he did write these stories for Playboy, the misogyny and phallomania disturbed me, particularly in the last story. no reviews | add a review
No descriptions found. Part of a series of adult books by Roald Dahl, this volume includes four short stories that explore the delicious thrill of sexual expectation and the double-edged sword that is the power of desire. (summary from another edition) |
