Publisher Description
“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’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, and heretofore unexplored heights of vulgarity and profanity,” Fool joins Moore’s own Lamb, Fluke, The Stupidest Angel, and You 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.”
Customer Reviews
Hilarious!
This is King Lear told from the perspective of the Fool. As good as this book is, it is enhanced 100% by the superb performance given by Euan Morton. It is as if he is telling his own history rather than just reading the book. I actually laughed out loud while listening to this! I gave it 4/5 only because I actually preferred The Serpent of Venice (follow up book), but I still highly recommend Fool.
