Sacré Bleu: A Comedy d’Art by Christopher Moore

Recommended by Jordan Waterwash

Christopher Moore’s ability to transform history into fantastical comedies completely mystifies me every time I read one of his books. Sacré Bleu is no exception. I’ve always been a fan of art, so it seemed natural for me to read what I thought would be an interesting tale about the lives of made-up artists during the Impressionist period. Turns out there’s only a handful of made-up artists who rub shoulders with the likes of Henri Toulouse-Lautrec, Vincet van Gogh, Claude Monet, and so many more. I won’t spoil too much, but the mystery of the novel lies in the color blue and all it represents. It’s funny, fast-paced, and utterly captivating. Read it, read it, read it!
