In his usual inimitable style, Roald Dahl spins yarns in Switch Bitch. The book is a collection of short stories, two about the bachelor playboy Uncle Oswald, whose incendiary diaries can only be published in carefully chosen segments. "The Great Switcheroo" is the story of wife-swapping that goes horribly wrong, and "The Last Act" is positively Cheever-esque until the last moment. "Switch Bitch" is tightly written and lovely; if you enjoy Roald Dahl, this will be enjoyable though sadly quick to read. One note - it's adults only in this case; who knew the same mind that produced "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" could be quite this dirty?
This book kind of annoyed me.
