Salman Rushdie tweet

Salman Rushdie @SalmanRushdie Roald Dahl was no angel but this is absurd censorship. Puffin Books and the Dahl estate should be ashamed. Suzanne Nossel @SuzanneNossel - 19h At @PENamerica we are alarmed at news of "hundreds of changes" to venerated works by @roald_dahl in a purported effort to scrub the books of that which might offend someone. 1/13 theguardian.com/books/2023/feb...

Matt Pearce tweet

Matt Pearce @mattdpearce www Roald Dahl's books have been edited to stop calling people fat so much, plus other offensive things. This is being described as "woke." I would reply that hardly anyone on here has read unfiltered Dahl, who has periodically needed, um, revision. latimes.com/entertainment-.... edition of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," published in 1 ompas helping Willy Wonka were originally described as Afri om Wonka had "smuggled" out of Africa in crates to live and v cing pressure from Black actors and groups such as the NAAC Civil Rights era, the 1971 film made the Oompa-Loompas orai hair. In a 1973 revision of the book, Dahl recast the Oompa-I fantastical instead of Black and African.
