Dirty Job

One of the antic Moore's funniest capers yet. --Kirkus Reviews A bravura mix of the familiar and the hilariously original. --Denver Post Outlandishly funny. --Syracuse Post-Standard My top pick for laugh-out-loud reading . . . dark, dark, dark and funny, funny, funny. --Sarasota Herald-Tribune [Moore] is superb in this mock epic of death and love. Smart people will be enormously amused. --Library Journal (starred review) [Moore's] most speculative, tripped-out and deeply felt book to date. --The Oregonian (Portland) [A] wonderful, whacked-out yarn. --Publishers Weekly To keep a straight face while reading this book, one would have to be dead already ... Grade: A. --Rocky Mountain News Makes you laugh in the face of death. --Rocky Mountain News Moore's signature tossed-off humor is in full effect, and it's easy to care about his warm, lumpy, honest characters. --Entertainment Weekly Dizzyingly inventive and hypnotically engaging, A DIRTY JOB is . . . like no other book I've ever read. --Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Son of a Witch Death, of course, is not usually a funny subject, but in the hands of Christopher Moore it sure is. --Hartford Courant [A DIRTY JOB] will keep a smile on your face long after you put it down. --Cleveland Plain Dealer Outstanding . . . The dialogue follows a zany illogic worthy of the Marx brothers. --Washington Post Book World Hilarious yet poignant. --Hartford Courant
