My Uncle Oswald is Roald Dahl’s wickedly irreverent novel for adults, centered around the rakish and flamboyant Oswald Cornelius, a wealthy playboy with a taste for seduction and mischief. Told through a series of outrageous exploits, Oswald devises a scheme to collect sperm from the most brilliant men of the early 20th century—figures like Einstein, Freud, and Picasso—with the help of a powerful aphrodisiac and a femme fatale accomplice. The novel is a satirical, sexually charged romp that plays out with all the dark wit and twisted humor Dahl is known for, offering a rare glimpse into his work beyond children's literature and into the realm of adult comedy and farce.
