Roald Dahl a Great Weiter

I always liked "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "James and the Giant Peach", but I didn't realize the writer was an honest and brave man.

Quote from the linked "Time" article:
"Despite Dahl publicly admitting he was anti-Semitic in an interview shortly before his death at age 74—and the existence of a number of reports of his alleged misogyny and racism—for a long time, it seemed that the immense popularity of his books and their accompanying adaptations overshadowed concerns regarding his reputed prejudices."

EDIT--didnt realize I linked the story right into my title. My apologies.

He sounds like a freakin' philo-semite to me. He practically just said jews are stinky and sneaky. That's like the very tip of the iceberg.
