Discussion [Today I Learnt] My favorite childhood author was a sex spy...

Roald Dahl, author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, was a RAF pilot in WW2... But during his time as a air attache in America, he acted as a spy, seducing rich women.

News article is shilling the book, The Irregulars: Roald Dahl and the British Spy Ring in Wartime Washington by Jennet Conant.

...I don't know what to think...

 

Well, I guess he was a Riajuu with a agenda

 

Be proud you read the work of a man who hid his harem.

 

woah , it's prove that you can't always keep your pure chidlish mind, but for me the author looks cool. And we can't judge a book by its cover the joke is real.

 

that 13 year old boothe luce was not yet a congresswoman by that time, right??

 

Nothing is true everything is permitted
That's the way of the world.

 

I thought the title was the name of a novel for a minute there.

 

13 years older.

No way in hell they would've let him at a 13 yo, and no way in hell she could affect things as a congressman at 13 yo.

 

13 years older, not a 13 year old girl. There's a huge difference.

 

shows how rich his experiences are. . .

 

The BEST writers have had exciting lives...Ernest Hemingway, Mark Twain, Oscar Wilde and Christopher Marlowe are examples that come to mind. LIVING more important to writing than spending years in school to learn how to spin an elegant metaphor imho.

 

This though:

I thought that being said by a little girl and it somehow made me laugh, but she was most likely not a little girl when she was interviewed for that article.

 

You just make someone jealous

 

RIAJUU GO EXPLODE

 

You're probably one of those Bond villains aren't you?

 

Damn

 

i'm a simple otaku that dislikes this winner in life.

 

I can kind of understand about you being surprised he was a spy, but lots of spies used sex to get information... Hell some(or most for that matter) of the biggest information leaks happened before the internet age was gathered between the sheets.
