While I was wandering in blizzards, Christopher Moore<\/a> was doing an interview with NPR<\/a> nominally about his latest book, The Stupidest Angel<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m a big Moore fan, although I think his most recent two (Fluke<\/a>, and The Stupidest Angel<\/a>) don’t live up to his previous work. They just seem somehow slighter than the other stuff, which is an odd complaint for comedies and satires, I know, but there it is. However, since I quite like all his other works, saying that the latest ones suffer from comparison is a relatively mild complaint. I am a particular fan of Coyote Blue<\/a> and Lamb<\/a> (which was also a hit with my wife and her family), and like all the other novels.<\/p>\n
