Home Your account Current issue Archives ... April 26, 2007 The Art of Vengeance By Joyce Carol Oates Collected Stories by Roald Dahl, with an introduction by Jeremy Treglown Everyman's Library, 848 pp., $30.00 and a relatively small but distinct body of prose fiction for adults: Over to You Someone Like You Kiss Kiss Selected Stories Switch Bitch (1974), and Eight Short Stories (1987). The Collected Stories , with an excellent introduction by Dahl's biographer Jeremy Treglown, is a gathering of forty-eight stories of considerable diversity, ambition, and quality, with settings ranging from Kenya to rural England, London, and New York City and narrative styles ranging from the realistic to the fabulist and surreal. Though a number of Dahl's most engaging stories, particularly in his early career, are cast in a realist mode, his reputation is that of a writer of macabre, blackly jocose tales that read, at their strongest, like artful variants of Grimm's fairy tales; Dahl is of that select society of Saki (the pen name of H.H. Munro), Evelyn Waugh, Muriel Spark, and Iris Murdoch, satiric moralists who wield the English language like a surgical instrument to flay, dissect, and expose human folly. As a female character says in the ironically titled "My Lady Love, My Dove": "I'm a nasty Though in his fiction for adults as in his books for children Dahl exhibits the flair of a natural storyteller, for whom no bizarre leap of the imagination is unlikely, he seems to have begun writing, at the urging of C.S. Forester, as a consequence of his wartime experiences in the RAF, which included crash-landing in the African desert and participating in highly dangerous air battles during the German invasion of Greece. Such early stories as "An African Story," "Only This," "Someone Like You," and "Death of an Old Old Man" draw memorably on these experiences and suggest that if Dahl had not concentrated on the short-story form and more or less abandoned realism for the showy detonations of plot made popular in his youth by Saki and O. Henry, he might have developed into a very different sort of writer altogether.

71. Who Is Roald Dahl? Brief and Straightforward Guide Who is roald dahl? http://www.wisegeek.com/who-is-roald-dahl.htm

Who is Roald Dahl? ad_unit_target='mainAdUnit'; X Close this window Roald Dahl is a British author well known for writing books and stories for children and adults. He was born in Cardiff, Wales in 1916 to Norwegian parents and named for Roald Admunsen, a popular Norwegian polar explorer of the time. When Roald Dahl was four, his sister Astri and his father both passed away within the period of one month. His mother decided to remain in England, because Dahl's father had specified that the children be educated in British schools, which he firmly believed to be the best in the world. It was an unusual decision for the time, when women were not generally encouraged to strike out on their own. Roald Dahl started at Llandaff Cathedral School, and later went to a series of boarding schools , an experience he profoundly disliked. Roald Dahl often wrote about his experiences in boarding schools, detailing them at length in his autobiography Boy: Tales of Childhood (1984). After he graduated from school, Dahl went to work for the Shell Oil Company, which posted him in Africa. There he lived in relative luxury with a handful of other Shell employees in company housing until the outbreak of the war. As one of the British citizens in Dar-es-Salaam, Roald Dahl was pressed into service to round up the Germans living there at the outbreak of the war. This

Front Page By Title By Author Related Links ... Lamb to the Slaughter by Roald Dahl (1916-1990) Word Count: 3899 The room was warm and clean, the curtains drawn, the two table lamps alight-hers and the one by the empty chair opposite. On the sideboard behind her, two tall glasses, soda water, whiskey.  Fresh ice cubes in the Thermos bucket. Mary Maloney was waiting for her husband to come him from work. Now and again she would glance up at the clock, but without anxiety, merely to please herself with the thought that each minute gone by made it nearer the time when he would come.  There was a slow smiling air about her, and about everything she did.  The drop of a head as she bent over her sewing was curiously tranquil.  Her skin -for this was her sixth month with child-had acquired a wonderful translucent quality, the mouth was soft, and the eyes, with their new placid look, seemed larger darker than before. When the clock said ten minutes to five, she began to listen, and a few moments later, punctually as always, she heard the tires on the gravel outside, and the car door slamming, the footsteps passing the window, the key turning in the lock.  She laid aside her sewing, stood up, and went forward to kiss him as he came in. “Hullo darling,” she said.
