![]() Christopher Moore is one of the cleverest, naughtiest writers alive.” “Shakespeare and Poe might be rolling in their graves, but they’re rolling with laughter. Greed, revenge, deception, lust, and a giant (but lovable) sea monster combine to create another hilarious and bawdy tale from modern comic genius, Christopher Moore. and he’s got more than a few tricks (and hand gestures) up his sleeve. (How can such a small man, be such a huge obstacle?). Desperate to rid themselves once and for all of the man who has consistently foiled their grand quest for power and wealth, they have lured him to his death. This trio of cunning plotters-the merchant, Antonio the senator, Montressor Brabantio and the naval officer, Iago-have lured Pocket to a dark dungeon, promising an evening of sprits and debauchery with a rare Amontillado sherry and Brabantio’s beautiful daughter, Portia.īut their invitation is, of course, bogus. Three prominent Venetians await their most loathsome and foul dinner guest, the erstwhile envoy from the Queen of Britain: the rascal-Fool Pocket. ![]()
