L'assaggio

Dahl's stories often blend comedy with darker themes, and this one is no exception. I wonder how he decided where to draw the line between funny and unsettling.

The humor really stood out for me, but I kept wondering if the mystery was just a vehicle for Dahl's satirical points or if it was meant to be the main focus.

His signature style here feels very intentional, but I’m curious what influences or experiences led to this particular approach in 'La cata'.
