Write-Up Epithetical Books My Uncle Oswald

Roald Dahl's brilliance lies in the fact that he set out to portray a lecherous, chauvinistic and unapologetic bastard, and that's exactly what he accomplished. This book made me uncomfortable. It made me go squick more than once. But that's precisely the point of the whole thing, and everyone who gave it 1* somehow managed to miss that. Besides, in the end(SPOILER)Oswald does get his comeuppance, and that alone makes it worth the while.Also, Yasmin's an empowering female character if I ever saw

Stop whatever you're doing and read this book right now. You're welcome.

What I learned from this book is that Roald Dahl has some serious issues with women. I loved all his children's books and I had heard that he was a lot more scandalous in his adult fiction but damn! This book is based on the fake memoirs of Uncle Oswald, the "greatest fornicator of all time". I thought it would be a fun and funny read (which it was in some sense), but it was also glorifying the sexual abuse and use of women for men's pleasure. The main redeeming quality is that Oswald, the main

This book continues the adventures of Uncle Oswald instroduced in Dahl's short story collections. I thought I would get tired of the a full length story about Uncle Oswald and the making of his fortune but I was wrong. I couldn't put it down.

What bothers me the most about this book isn't even the sexism, although there is plenty of it to go around. By the truckload. What bothers me is the fact that the characters are so blatantly being raped by the means of a drug rape. Dahl makes light of this issue, tries to make us laugh at it, and probably succeeds. Initially, I was very amused by him. But over the course of the first hundred pages, I started to get a little angry, and then I got mad. What, you think that just because you're

Very funny at first, and then you realize it's very funny largely because this is a famous children's book author writing a book about a lecherous, greedy man who makes money by selling love potions and then by convincing the one woman he feels any connection with to extract semen (in the usual manner) from geniuses and royals, all with a view to selling the precious swimmers to rich, stupid women who want to have the children of the afore-mentioned gents. And then the episodes of

What started off as a fun, entertaining, well-written frolic ultimately, due to its sexism, homophobia, and glorified rape-culture left a horrendous taste in my mouth. (view spoiler)[My Uncle Oswald is a fake memoir of a lecherous millionaire explaining how he made his fortune -- ultimately, by using the dried powder of a kind of Sudanese beetle to make pills with powerful aphrodisiac powers. For a large chunk of the book, Oswald and his business-partner Yasmin travel around Europe tricking
