TNBBC Presents - The Christopher Moore Author Q&A discussion

Post your questions regarding Fool A Novel here.

I went to your signing in San Diego for this book! You were hilarious.

So, honestly, is there a story behind the "the f***ing French" (sorry, I can never remember if I'm allowed to swear on here)...or is it just a random bit that continues?

Also, does anybody ever get uppity and offended about it? (Understanding how unlikely is is for people to overreact to humor, right?)

Did you really read all of Shakespeare's works before starting to write this one?

No. I read most of them, but to be honest, I think there were five or six I didn't get to, like Trollus and Cressida and a couple of the histories.

I just think it's funny. No one has gotten mad yet, but we'll see. The book comes out in England this month, I think.

What made you decide to go with this story? I loved it. You're writing always makes me laugh, (literally laugh out loud laugh, where people look at me like I'm crazy or something). But this just seemed like it was a little off the beaten path for how you normally write.
