Join us for a reading group discussion of Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal by Christopher Moore!

Venue: Left Bank Books - Downtown

The birth of Jesus has been well chronicled, as have his glorious teachings, acts, and divine sacrifice after his 30th birthday. But no one knows about the early life of the Son of God except Biff, the Messiah's best bud, who has been resurrected to tell the story in this hilarious yet heartfelt work.

In July 1890, Vincent van Gogh went into a cornfield and shot himself. Or did he? Why would an artist at the height of his creative powers attempt to take his own life? Who was the crooked little "color man" Vincent had claimed was stalking him across France? And why had the painter recently become deathly afraid of a certain shade of blue? These are just a few of the questions confronting Vincent's friends, who vow to discover the truth about van Gogh's untimely death. Their quest will lead them on a surreal odyssey deep into the art world of late nineteenth-century Paris, featuring intrigue, passion, and art history—with cancan girls, baguettes, and fine French cognac thrown in for good measure.

This discussion is free and open to the public. Those wishing to get books signed will be asked to purchase at least one copy of Sacre Bleu from Vroman's for every 3 books they bring from home. Save your Vroman's receipt; it will be checked when you enter the signing line.

Christopher Moore Tuesday, April 24, 7:00 p.m. Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d'Art

Absolutely nothing is sacred to Christopher Moore. The phenomenally popular, New York Times bestselling satirist whom the Atlanta Journal-Constitution calls, "Stephen King with a whoopee cushion and a double-espresso imagination" has already lampooned Shakespeare, San Francisco vampires, marine biologists, Death...even Jesus Christ and Santa Claus.

Now, in his latest masterpiece, Sacre Bleu, the immortal Moore takes on the Great French Masters. A magnificent "Comedy d'Art" from the author of Lamb, Fool, and Bite Me, Moore's Sacre Bleu is part mystery, part history (sort of), part love story, and wholly hilarious as it follows a young baker-painter as he joins the dapper Henri Toulouse-Lautrec on a quest to unravel the mystery behind the supposed "suicide" of Vincent van Gogh.

"Christopher Moore is a very sick man, in the very best sense of that word." --Carl Hiassen
