<p>“Hilarious, always inventive, this is a book for all, especially uptight English teachers, bardolaters, and ministerial students.” <br>—<em>Dallas Morning News</em></p><p><em>Fool</em>—the bawdy and outrageous <em>New York Times</em> bestseller from the unstoppable Christopher Moore—is a hilarious new take on William Shakespeare’s <em>King Lear</em>…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,” <em>Fool</em> joins Moore’s own <em>Lamb</em>, <em>Fluke</em>, <em>The Stupidest Angel</em>, and <em>You Suck!</em> 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.”<br></p> Read Less
