Peng! Nee-wom! Applause Theatre \u0026amp; Cinema Books, revered and august publisher of weighty tomes on all things histrionic, is proud to present \u003ci\u003eMonty Python FAQ: All That's Left to Know About Spam, Grails, Spam, Nudging, Bruces, and Spam\u003c\/i\u003e, the only 127% unauthorized guide to the greatest comedy troupe to ever feature Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones, and Michael Palin, to what is doubtlessly an astute and discerning global audience! Written in Applause's popular FAQ format, this behemoth pack a broad range of historical trivia, trivial history, illicit paraphernalia, and sophomoric overeducation into a tastefully apportioned ranged of eminently readable, silly-walk-accessible chapters sure to delight Python newcomers and veterans alike. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRather than offering narrow analyses of the quintet's work, \u003ci\u003eMonty Python FAQ\u003c\/i\u003e ganders at the big picture, tracing the Pythons across space, time, and media format. This noble quest for meaning leaves no turn unstoned, from the Pythons' time immersed in the sketch comedy scene they grew out of to their boundary-breaking, undefinable, anarchic new style, from their comedic influences to biographical info on each of the individual Pythons (including an examination of their lives and work post-Python), from the book's front cover to its reverse, and from the beginning of this sentence to its mawkish and merciful end. Much like the troupe itself, the writers of \u003ci\u003eMonty Python FAQ\u003c\/i\u003e stuff their work with allusions to canonical literature and philosophy, but never forgot that sometimes it's just as funny to see somebody get slapped in the face with a fish.
