Great Christopher Moore Interview

Wes Phillips  |  Feb 28, 2006

I almost called Christopher Moore the funniest writer you've never heard of, but his sales indicate that an awful lot of people have not only heard of him, but have bought his books. He's not perzackly a household name, but I'd put him in the company of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, and Carl Hiiassen—you know, writers whose books you save for when you need a can't-fail pick-me-up.

If you don't know his stuff, dip into this interview and then start working through his canon. Or is it cannon? I always get those mixed up—either way, it's high calibre.

I loved Summerland. Asa comics loving geek, I was wowed by Kavalier & Clay and was bothered that Summerland was seen by critics as a let-down. The critics ws wrong. I thought it was a better baseball book than The Natural.It was a better Fisher King book, too.
