Synopsis

“Hilarious, always inventive, this is a book for all, especially uptight English teachers, bardolaters, and ministerial students.”
—Dallas Morning News

Fool—the bawdy and outrageous New York Times bestseller from the unstoppable Christopher Moore—is a hilarious new take on William Shakespeare’sKing Lear...as seen through the eyes of the foolish liege’s clownish jester, Pocket. A rousing tale of “gratuitous shagging, murder, spanking, maiming, treason, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity,”Fool joins Moore’s own Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, andYou Suck! as modern masterworks of satiric wit and sublimely twisted genius, prompting Carl Hiassen to declare Christopher Moore “a very sick man, in the very best sense of the word.”

About this title

Review:

There's more murder, mayhem, mistaken identities and scene changes than you can remember, but bestselling Moore turns things on their head with an edgy 21st-century perspective that makes the story line as sharp, surly and slick as a game of Grand Theft Auto (Publishers Weekly)

Wall-to-wall, farcical fornicating and fighting...a jolly good time can be had (Booklist)

Wretched excess doth have power to charm, and there are great reeking oodles of it strewn throughout these irreverent pages (Kirkus Reviews)

Funny, literate, smart and sexy, all at once! (Jeff Lindsay (Dexter))

Book Description:

A bawdy Shakespearean romp from the brilliant author of Lamb
