Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Roald Dahl’s memoir sticks to personal, anecdotal storytelling without shoehorning identity politics or ideological themes. Characters and events are rooted in his experience and personality, not modern virtue signaling. No narrative bending for forced representation or ideological purposes here.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The book portrays childhood, school, and family with a very non-woke lens. Traditions, punishments, and authority figures are depicted as they were. No cultural revisionism or undermining of traditional values; in fact, it almost revels in the harshness of the past.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

There’s no presence of ideological monoculture, Dahl isn’t interested in imposing any modern agenda. The worldview is authentic to its time, and dissent or pluralistic experiences aren’t mocked or villainized. If anything, it offers a refreshingly pluralistic look back.
