It seems like one of those anthology books. Cool. Benedict Cumberbatch ("The Power of The Dog", who will play Sugar),

Are there only men in the story...?

Good for Dev, though.

I’m going to assume that this isn’t one of Dahl’s soft porn books like My Uncle Oswald

omg you made a post yay! (and everyone's immediately shitting on it lmao HATERS!!)

this book of short stories is GOAT for dahl tbh!! or at least my personal dahl fav as a kid. the henry sugar one is my least favorite. it's cool though, i suspect there'll be a lot of recycled casting from darjeeling limited for that one lol

i'm sad benedict cumberbatch is in this......

edit: i found the pdf of all of the short stories if anyone is interested, it makes the kingsley and dev castings make more sense lol. basically: extremely british, extremely it-has-been-only-30-years-since-india-stopped-being-a-colony

this anthology lived in my dreams as a kid, i honestly thought I have fever dreamed it because I found a copy on a forgotten shelve in a empty classroom, put it back and then never found it again, lmao, but I adored it. Tried meditating out of my body to see blind and everything.

I have a feeling if I read this, I'll unlock some memory from childhood lol
