My Take
I have a soft spot for Christopher Moore's whole sensibility. A Toledo native born on New Year's Day, he wraps science fiction, horror and the absurd in genuine comedy, and his background in journalism and assistant directing probably sharpened that sideways view of the world. I trust writers who can make you laugh while sneaking real loneliness and human folly past your guard. There is a lightness to him that I suspect masks something sharper underneath, and that combination is exactly what makes me want to pick up one of his novels.
