Now, in his latest masterpiece, Sacr\u00e9 Bleu, the immortal Moore takes on the Great French Masters. A magnificent \u201cComedy d\u2019Art\u201d from the author of Lamb, Fool, and Bite Me, Moore\u2019s Sacr\u00e9 Bleu is part mystery, part history (sort of), part love story, and wholly hilarious as it follows a young baker-painter as he joins the dapper Henri Toulouse-Lautrec on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the supposed \u201csuicide\u201d of Vincent van Gogh.<\/p>\n

If you have not read any\u00a0 books by Christopher Moore,\u00a0 <\/a>now might be a good time to start…because I’m telling you how awesome they are, right now.\u00a0 All of them.\u00a0 Okay… all the one’s I’ve read and I have read more than one.\u00a0 The most recent was Sacr\u00e9 Bleu.<\/a><\/em>\u00a0 It was enveloping, alluring, and magical, the kind of book that makes you chuckle out loud in a crowded airport, no matter who looks at you funny.\u00a0 See the quote above; I’m not alone.<\/p>\n
