Wow, I had no idea Road Dahl wrote adult fiction at all, much less that Four Rooms was based on it. Great pointer.

- Synaesthesia 10y agoHis adult fiction and short stories are excellent, he also wrote erotic literature which is quite good too.
- david-given 10y agoHis autobiography is good, too; Boy is his younger days, including such details as the Great (Dead) Mouse Plot and his time at a series of awful, awful 1930s British public school[1] and the many times he was caned there; Going Solo is about him as a young man in pre-war Empire Africa and then, later, during the war, as one of the last RAF fighter pilots helping hold back the Germans in Greece; he got shot down in the Sahara and nearly went blind. They're hilariously funny and terrifying and disturbing and wonderful, all at the same time. [1] 'Public school', in UK parlance, means the same thing as 'private school' in the US, except different. We have private schools as well. They're different too.
