Overview
"Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of that word."
--Carl Hiassen
" Moore's novels] deftly blend surreal, occult, and even science-fiction doings with laugh-out-loud satire of contemporary culture."
--Washington Post
"If there's a funnier writer out there, step forward."
--Playboy
Absolutely nothing is sacred to Christopher Moore. The phenomenally popular, New York Times bestselling satirist whom the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls, "Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination" has already lampooned Shakespeare, San Francisco vampires, marine biologists, Death...even Jesus Christ and Santa Claus Now, in his latest masterpiece, Sacr Bleu, the immortal Moore takes on the Great French Masters. A magnificent "Comedy d'Art" from the author of Lamb, Fool, and Bite Me, Moore's Sacr Bleu is part mystery, part history (sort of), part love story, and wholly hilarious as it follows a young baker-painter as he joins the dapper Henri Toulouse-Lautrec on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the supposed "suicide" of Vincent van Gogh.

Romance, art history and a lot of uncomfortable laughs.
Samantha C. - 1 year 5 months agoChristopher Moore is typically a raunchy, bawdy, hilarious and absolutely irreverent author, and his "Comedy d'Art" Sacre Bleu is no exception. The plot starts with Vincent Van Gogh's death being described as a murder and a young painter/baker teaming up with Henri Toulouse-Lautrec to solve the mystery. The Impressionist movement is one of my favorite art movements but I hold nothing sacred and Moore's portrayal of these real-life geniuses as dopey, arrogant and often drunk proves he doesn't either. There is some romance, some art history, and a lot of uncomfortable laughs.
