Dahl's review in Literary Review expressed a sorrowful acknowledgment of the Arab civilian casualties during Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon while making controversial, sweeping statements about Jewish identity.
The response to Dahl's remarks was swift and critical; his British and American publishers confronted him about his comments, pushing for an apology that he refused.
In the play 'Giant', Dahl is portrayed as a complex character, eliciting both sympathy and condemnation for his beliefs, while inaccuracies in his statements reveal deep-seated prejudices.
Giant manages to encapsulate this tumultuous period of Dahl's life, creating a narrative that challenges the audience to grapple with the nuances of his character and his flaws.
