Christopher Moore

Christopher Moore is an American writer of absurdist fiction. His stories typically involve conflicted everyman characters suddenly struggling through supernatural or extraordiary circumstances. These off-the-wall characters, wacky settings, and bizzarre storylines often address legitimate political and social concerns. The screenplay rights to some of Moore's books, such as Practical Demonkeeping and Bloodsucking Fiends, have been purchased by Disney, but have not yet been made into movies. 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.
