Topic: Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

1 chapters across the catalog

Publisher Puffin has implemented extensive changes to Roald Dahl’s children's books, including "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and "Matilda," to remove language deemed offensive by sensitivity readers. Changes include removing the word "fat" and altering the description of Oompa Loompas to be gender-neutral. These edits are described as a form of "biomedical tyranny" and cultural erasure that goes beyond traditional book burning by fundamentally altering the author's original intent.
