Calcium Made Interesting: Sketches, Letters, Essays & Gondolas

The late Graham Chapman was Monty Python's one true anarchist. The man who portrayed the mistaken messiah in Life of Brian lived his life, on and off the stage, with a sheer delight in madness. In the spirit of the man himself, this marvelous anthology collects everything from unpublished sketches, transcripts of his lecture tours, and letters to his bank manager ("Please stop writing these abusive letters about my overdraft. I consider it to be quite a nice one…"), to serious articles on gay rights and reflections on his fellow Pythons—all offering a unique insight into the real Dr. Chapman. Funny and surreal, Calcium Made Interesting captures the eclectic spirit of a true comic genius and his enduring impact on comedy.
