Chronicle In Favor Of Books Some Time Never: A Fable for Supermen

Some Time Never is a blend of realism and outrageous fantasy. It is the story of the hitherto little-known Gremlins. It is moreover a piercing commentary on Man and the qualities in Man which are leading him to his destruction.

The Gremlins were the original rulers of the earth in ages past, but with the advent of Man and the spread of his obnoxious activities to every part of the globe, the Gremlins were forced underground to a subterranean network of tunnels. Out for revenge and for the restoration of their former dominant position in the world's affairs, the Gremlins bent every effort to plotting Man's annihilation.

During the Battle of Britain these odd and menacing creatures began an offensive against pilots in an effort to hasten the eradication of the human race. From the experiences of three Royal Air Force pilots, Stuffy, Peternip and Progboot, we get an appalling picture of Gremlin activities, and through the eyes of the Gremlins themselves we get a portrait of Man that is far from flattering.

After the Battle of Britain the Gremlins became convinced that Man would effect his own self-destruction without any help from them—so they ceased their ingenious offensive and retired underground to wait...

Crit About Books Some Time Never: A Fable for Supermen

An unflinchingly dark book. Interesting for that reason. I suppose being in the RAF during WWII would do that to you, if you survived. Worth reading as early Dahl, but not one of his best books.

Roald Dahl was probably my favorite author as a kid, so although it pains me to give one of his only adult-ish novels a poor review, it's pretty unavoidable. I realize now that Dahl was sort of a less edgy, kid's version of Kurt Vonnegut, fine and well for kids and teenagers, but a little lacking as an adult. To be sure, Dahl was doing weird and kooky before Vonnegut was, so I'm not sure how much he may have influenced the latter. This story, an early Cold War cautionary tale about the

A somber and imaginative tail of post-war humanity moving towards the inevitable apocalyps.

Bizar verhaal, bizar verteld. Ik ben weg van Roald Dahl, maar dit boek was hem voor mij niet.



Roald Dahl's first novel for adults is also his most obscure work of fiction. "Sometime Never", also titled "Some Time Never", was printed only once, in 1948. The book met with such a poor reception that it was never reprinted, and Dahl himself refused to let his publisher re-release it. The book attracts a great deal of fascination because of its obscurity and its dark, apocalyptic plot- it was the first ever novel to tackle nuclear warfare and one of the earliest post-apocalyptic stories.

Roald Dahl was a British novelist, short story writer and screenwriter of Norwegian descent, who rose to prominence in the 1940's with works for both children and adults, and became one of the world's bestselling authors.Dahl's first published work, inspired by a meeting with C. S. Forester, was Shot Down Over Libya. Today the story is published as A Piece of Cake. The story, about his wartimeAnders dan ik had verwacht, maar zeker het tweede deel was heel komisch en Dahl-esk (is dat een woord?)
