Christopher Moore Noir
b'Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today our guest is Christopher Moore, Author of Noir published just last week by William Morrow.
Christopher is the author of over fifteen novels including Lamb, A Dirty Job and You Suck. He has been called \\u201cA very sick man, in the best sense of the word\\u201d and \\u201cThe greatest satirist since Jonathan Swift\\u201d.
Noir is a tough book to describe. Our protagonist is Sammy \\u201ctwo-toes\\u201d Tiffin a bartender with a past and then a future (hopefully) that contains one Stilton (the cheese) a knock-out blond bombshell whose picture is on the cover and on the title page of alternating chapters. But things don\\u2019t go as planned. Sal, the bar\\u2019s owner shows up dead, an Air Force General has some urgent business that falls on Sammy\\u2019s shoulders. At the same time we have some visitors from Roswell New Mexico, a secret society and Sammy and his pals, a Chinese sidekick, and a nasty but lovable kid and a black Mamba, (a semi-reliable narrator) all of whom join various other \\u201cMIB\\u201d types and loads of other fiends and friends to complete a roster of characters, who in this Noir book, coupled with the screwball comedy and mixed with the satire that Christopher so often provides us with lead to hijinks in this delightful romp.
