Fool: A Novel (#1)

Fool—the bawdy & outrageous New York Times bestseller from the unstoppable Christopher Moore—is a hilarious new take on William Shakespeare’s King Lear…as seen through the eyes of the foolish liege’s clownish jester, Pocket. 

A rousing tale of “gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, & heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity & profanity,” Fool joins Moore’s own Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, & You Suck! as modern masterworks of satiric wit & sublimely twisted genius, prompting Carl Hiassen to declare Christopher Moore “a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word.” 

CHRISTOPHER MOORE is the author of many novels, including this one. He began writing at age six & became the oldest known child prodigy when, in his early thirties, he published his first novel. His turn-ons are the ocean, playing the toad lotto, & talking animals on TV. His turn-offs are salmonella, traffic, & rude people. Chris enjoys cheese crackers, acid jazz, & otter scrubbing. He lives in an inaccessible island fortress in the Pacific. You can e-mail him at BSFiends@aol.com. Visit the official Christopher Moore website at www.chrismoore.com.
