“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, Sacré 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 Sacré 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.

"I love Christopher Moore's wacky funny take on real life events that he puts his personal sarcastic stamp on. The age of Impressionists in Paris is a particular fondess of mine and I loved that Henri Toulous-Lautrec was a main character. I bet the man truely was much like his portrayal in the book. The mystical/shamanistic side of the Colorman and the Muse was a little out there but this author is known for pushing the edges in that arena. A fun artsy read that would definately be enjoyed by art enthusiasts with a sense of humor. My favorite line, "Penis". To the point for sure!"
