Description: "Dizzyingly inventive and hypnotically engaging, A DIRTY JOB is . . . like no other book I've ever read." - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Son of a Witch "#%&@*!--It's A Dirty Job, but Moore has to do it, delivering another bent cocktail of his designer-brand insanity--and giving the current generation its own Vonnegut, Robbins, and Swift rolled into one. Amen." - Tim Dorsey, author of The Big Bamboo "[Moore] is superb in this mock epic of death and love. Smart people will be enormously amused." - Library Journal (starred review) "Dizzyingly inventive and hypnotically engaging, A Dirty Job is by turns hysterical, severely sad, always brisk and lolloping, and like no other book I've ever read." - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked and Son of a Witch "If there's a funnier writer out there, step forward." - Playboy "Death, of course, is not usually a funny subject, but in the hands of Christopher Moore it sure is." - Hartford Courant "One of the antic Moore's funniest capers yet." - Kirkus Reviews "[A] wonderful, whacked-out yarn." - Publishers Weekly "Hilarious yet poignant." - Hartford Courant "My top pick for laugh-out-loud reading . . . dark, dark, dark and funny, funny, funny." - Sarasota Herald-Tribune "Outlandishly funny." - Syracuse Post-Standard "[A DIRTY JOB] will keep a smile on your face long after you put it down." - Cleveland Plain Dealer "Outstanding . . . The dialogue follows a zany illogic worthy of the Marx brothers." - Washington Post Book World "Makes you laugh in the face of death." - Rocky Mountain News "[A] wonderful, whacked-out yarn . . . Moore's enthusiasm and skill make it convincing, and his affection for the cast of weirdos gives the book an unexpected poignancy." - Publishers Weekly "A bravura mix of the familiar and the hilariously original." - Denver Post "Moore's signature tossed-off humor is in full effect, and it's easy to care about his warm, lumpy, honest characters." - Entertainment Weekly "To keep a straight face while reading this book, one would have to be dead already ... Grade: A." - Rocky Mountain News "[Moore's] most speculative, tripped-out and deeply felt book to date." - The Oregonian (Portland)
