In this interesting essay, James Parker explores Roald Dahl's book Charlie and the chocolate factory, and it's relation to the film with Johnny Depp, the impact of the illustrations by Quentin Blake, and connections with "the old stories" - fairy tales...
"In our age of interpretation, fairy tales — as befits their magical nature — have suffered many fates. But they have survived them all, because they are obstinate, irreducible productions of psychic life."
