Great piece

"I dislike the alterations … but they were made for business reasons”

I'm near certain my take is wrong, but part of me wonders if the changes weren't done for spite. I watched a rich guy buy a fallen rival’s treasured home for the sole pleasure of bulldozing it to the ground

I'm sure the publisher and the estate want the money, but maybe there's a tiny bit of “Fuck you, Roald” in turning his work into something he’d hate.
