These tales weren't meant to be erotic, rather to be representations of sick, dark humor.In Switch Bitch four tales of seduction and suspense are told by the grand master of the short story, Roald Dahl. The apex of the abhorrence for me was the detailed account of revenge-sex in form of rape of a menopausal woman by a gynecologist. He would ravish the Queen instead."Įach of these stories have sick, twisted endings. Prince Oswald Cornelius decided that he cared not one whit about the beautiful Princess who was held captive in the castle by the jealous King. only to later settle down for seducing the wife. But watch out, for here comes Prince Oswald Cornelius to the rescue! Unbeknownst to the King, he is going to ravish the beautiful Princess, and make her very happy." "And the beautiful Princess is imprisoned within its walls by her strict and jealous father, King Abdul Aziz, who refuses to allow her the pleasures of masculine company.

Oswald decides to repay his host's kindness by planning a tryst with the daughter. While there Oswald meets the man's wife and eighteen-year-old daughter, both of whom are extremely beautiful.

The stories have a strong underlying theme of misogyny, lewd humor and dark sadistic sexual fantasies, with stories about predatory seduction, revenge sex, wife-swapping etc.įor instance, in the very first story( "The Visitor"), we have Oswald Hendryks Cornelius stranded in Cairo when a Syrian businessman picks him up by the side of the road and offers him a room for the night in his desert mansion. Those of you who are fans of politically correct literature and love Dahl for writings like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory can stop reading the review here, for it is not a children's book. Switch Bitch is a collection of adult short stories published in Playboy in between 19.
