Fool

"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."
