Commentary As Books Switch Bitch

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.

Judge Appertaining To Books Switch Bitch

What did I just read? WHAT DID I JUST READ???This was NO Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. This was designed for a much, much older and maturer audience. My eyes. Scrub my eyes. This is not the Dahl I remembered. The Visitor - Oh good Lawd. Where to start. Should I start with how this old pervy Uncle Oswald finds himself alone in the desert and is rescued by a fine Middle-Eastern man (who has a gorgeous wife and daughter) and how the uncle couldn't decide which he'd rather screw? His host's

Mainly funny but heart-wrenching as well, especially the "Last Act", it is an utterly delightful collection of short stories.

Dahl's humor is flawless and he leaves you on the edge throughout every strangely sexual tale in this book. If you haven't read "Switch Bitch" , some wonderfully sly, bawdy and remarkably well-written entertainment awaits you.There are only four stories in this collection but its well worth reading, especially if you've already read Dahl's "My Uncle Oswald", one of the funniest books on erotic humor I've ever read. Makes me feel like reading the other book again, to re-acquaint myself with that

This is not Roald Dahl of the children books This is the adult themed Roald Dahl. Many people gave this collection of short stories 2 stars and less; perhaps they executed YA themes and children stuff or they were shocked that an author like Mr. Dahl would write some crude stories full of sex, lust, adultery, and misogyny. The stories are well written, some have unexpected twists and some make you wonder an open ending. We meet Uncle Oswald the world most famous fornicator and his 23 volumes of

In my naivete, I assumed that the only Roald Dahl I would ever read would be the canonical works I can remember from childhood. The BFG, James and the Giant Peach, Matilda... and that's about it. Thanks for the memories, bye now. I was so wrong. Roald Dahl was a dirty, dirty man. ...so now I have a strikingly different reason to thank him.This volume is comprised of fun little stories about sex, love, sex, and sex. Oh, and also sex. The stories were anecdotal in nature, and mostly enjoyable to

These stories were great. I had no idea Dahl wrote for adults - but I'm happy I came across some of his stories. This is perfect for a quick, entertaining read if you aren't too easily offended ;)[image error]

when i was nine years old i picked up a roald dahl from the (school!!!) library that turned out to be Not For Kids and involved a woman murdering her husband by hitting him on the head with a frozen lamb shank, and then serving said lamb to the policeman who came to investigate, thereby destroying the murder weapon. i enjoyed it immensely. i hope this book is like that one.
