Switch Bitch
Switch Bitch | Roald Dahl
6 posts | 16 read | 21 to read
In Switch Bitch four tales of seduction and suspense are told by the grand master of the short story, Roald Dahl. Topping and tailing this collection are The Visitor and Bitch, stories featuring Dahl's notorious hedonist Oswald Hendryks Cornelius (or plain old Uncle Oswald) whose exploits are frequently as extraordinary as they are scandalous. In the middle, meanwhile, are The Great Switcheroo and The Last Act, two stories exploring a darker side of desire and pleasure. In the black comedies of Switch Bitch Roald Dahl brilliantly captures the ins and outs, highs and lows of sex. 'Dahl is too good a storyteller to become predictable' Daily Telegraph Roald Dahl, the brilliant and worldwide acclaimed author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, and many more classics for children, also wrote scores of short stories for adults. These delightfully disturbing tales have often been filmed and were most recently the inspiration for the West End play, Roald Dahl's Twisted Tales by Jeremy Dyson. Roald Dahl's stories continue to make readers shiver today.

Mehso-so

The four short stories in this volume were all once originally published in Playboy magazine 🙄. They also have chauvinistic/sexist tones. Each one has a twist ending — “Expect the Unexpected “, indeed.

Can‘t imagine, though, that in today‘s society that an author could get away with this kind of content and also get their children‘s books published 🤷🏻‍♀️

These are not written for children, but twist-filled short #stories of seduction, lust and suspense for adults.

Four short stories for adults - stories of suspense and the subject is sex. Not for the prudish. 🙂

Alice Munro is the first author that comes into mind for today's prompt. Besides Alice Munro (and Edgar Allan Poe), Roald Dahl is another #shortstories author that I like.

Weezelle I loved that book! Although I read it at far too young at age (from my parents bookshelf). 8y
