Fool

Ever read anything by Christopher Moore?  He seems like an eccentric and insanely funny writer.  His satire of Shakespeare's King Lear, Fool, centers on the jester's perspective, as he tries to remedy the royal family's disasters.  Akin to Stoppard's rendition of Hamlet focusing on its two minor character, reminiscent of Monty Python and The Office, Fool is vulgar, obscene, and ultimately absurd.  Looks like an excellent read.  Hit it up on amazon.
