Fool

verily Speaks Christopher Moore, Much-beloved Scrivener And Peerless Literary Jester, Who Hath Writteneth Much That Is Of Grand Wit And Belly-busting Mirth, Including Such Laureled Bestsellers Of The times Of Olde Newe Yorke As Lamb, a Dirty Job, And you Suck: A Love Story. Now He Takes On No Less Than The Legendary Bard Himself (with The Utmost Humility And Respect) In A Twisted And Insanely Funny Tale Of A Moronic Monarch And His Deceitful Daughters—a Rousing Story Of Plots, Subplots, Counterplots, Betrayals, War, Revenge, Bared Bosoms, Unbridled Lust . . . And A Ghost (there's Always A Bloody Ghost), As Seen Through The Eyes Of A Man Wearing A Codpiece And Bells On His Head.the Barnes & Noble Reviewwriters As Eclectic As Angela Carter, Jane Smiley, And Edward Bond Have Contended With king Lear's Fretful Elements, Retelling Shakespeare's Tragedy With Twin Cordelias, A Straightforward Goneril Lacking Guts And Gumption, And An Onstage Autopsy. But The Satirical Novelist Christopher Moore Has Zeroed In On The Fool's Perspective, Adding References From monty Python, Airplane, and the Office Into His Errant And Irreverent Quarto.
