	ZYZZYVA—Winter 1999
		It appears in a collection of his short stories, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More, and it is not at all out of place, because Dahl conceives of his bildungsroman as a fabulous story: he became a writer because of a lucky break!
		A fighter pilot, he was shot down in North Africa—no, that was not his lucky break—and, after he recovered and flew several more perilous missions, he was assigned to the British Embassy in Washington as an assistant air attaché—no, that was still not his lucky break.
		But perhaps that story, well beyond the territory of lucky breaks, should be the subject of another volume.
