While I was wandering in blizzards, Christopher Moore was doing an interview with NPR nominally about his latest book, The Stupidest Angel.
I’m a big Moore fan, although I think his most recent two (Fluke, and The Stupidest Angel) 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 and Lamb (which was also a hit with my wife and her family), and like all the other novels.
Moore was one of the few non-mystery authors to get the Chiappetta stamp of approval as well, with Paul voraciously devouring all his works in a matter of days. I still try to send the new Moore books up to Crimson Ridge for Paul’s amusement.
