Christopher Moore (born 1957 in Toledo, Ohio[1]) is an American writer of absurdist fiction. His novels typically involve conflicted everyman characters suddenly struggling through supernatural or extraordinary circumstances. They often touch on political, environmental, or social concerns. Inheriting a humanism from his love of John Steinbeck and a sense of the absurd from Kurt Vonnegut, Moore is a best-selling author with major cult status. 1957 (MCMLVII) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
