Roald Dahl

L'auteur de Bizarre ! Bizarre ! et de Kiss Kiss confirme ici qu'il est un des maîtres de l'humour et du baroque. Ses quatre récits sont pétris de sarcasmes et de fantaisie, délibérément invraisemblables, menés à un rythme endiablé, bâtis sur des intrigues coupées de rebondissements et de coups de théâtre. Leur thème commun est une réflexion sur la chair, l'instinct sexuel et le plaisir, qui les transforme en petites fables cruelles, empreintes d'une morale qui raille la fatuité de l'éternel masculin.

What a breathless, edgy, racy book this is. A complete page turner. Trust Mr. Dahl to have the eeriest, creepiest endings that make you flip page after page. Though I've always had a bit of a problem with his portrayal of women (most of them are homely, "good" wives who stay at home and cook, or they're evil or plain crazy), I will be lying if I say I that I didn't enjoy the four stories in this thrilling, sexy book. Read it, if only to experience the sheer magnanimity of his crazy mind.

"Dahl is too good a storyteller to become predictable." —The Daily Telegraph 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. 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.

A grieving widow, slowly beginning to inch back into the land of the living, reaches out to an old flame - an act which will have dramatic consequences. Two husbands concoct a plan to bring excitement back into their marital beds: swapping wives for the night - but without the women's knowledge. And extracts from the personal diaries of the libidinous Oswald Hendryks Cornelius are published for the first time: detailing his experiences with a violently aphrodisiac perfume; and how, stranded in the desert, he is taken in by a mother and daughter - who offer considerably more hospitality than he'd bargained for...
