It turns out that Dahl was a real antisemite, to me that is more of an issue: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2020/dec/06/roald-dahl-fam...

Somebody a few years ago proposed that if one really wished to read only poets who were guaranteed to be unobjectionable in their opinions and exemplary in their private lives, one would have to stick to George Herbert.

Did Dahl's antisemitism color much or some of his work? I haven't read that much of his stuff.

That's probably a matter of interpretation, I am not an expert in these matters.

I also don't have to like his books, if I need to check upon these questions on a permanent basis. I got better things to do.
