Christopher Moore
From Free net encyclopedia
Christopher Moore (born 1957 in Toledo, Ohio) is an American writer of absurdist fiction. His novels typically involve conflicted everyman characters suddenly struggling through supernatural or extraordinary circumstances. These off-the-wall characters, wacky settings, and bizarre storylines often address legitimate political and social concerns. Inheriting a humanism from his love of Steinbeck and a sense of the absurd from Vonnegut, Christopher Moore is a best-selling author with major cult status.
Although the screenplay rights to some of Moore's books, such as Practical Demonkeeping and Bloodsucking Fiends, have been purchased by Disney, none have yet been made into [film]s.
