Writing himself about an even earlier work, The Waste Land (1922), Eliot concluded that ‘some forms of illness are extremely favourable to religious illumination’. I have not had personal experience of this but I am aware that serious illness and death can often make people focus sharply on the meaning of life.

The overriding image of humankind .....

It is memories like this that contribute to Dahl's work. This specific memory .....

This gave him publicity and boosted his career. After this, he converted to Judaism and started to refer to God as “The Cat Upstair .....
