Join us at our Parma-Snow Branch for a conversation with Daniel Handler, author of "And Then? And Then? What Else?"Register: https://attend.cuyahogalibrary.org/event/9113700
Handler is best known for his books as Lemony Snicket, notably the 13-volume A Series of Unfortunate Events and the four-book sequence All the Wrong Questions. Under his given name, he is the author of seven novels, and has worked extensively in music, theater, film, and television. He lives in San Francisco, California.
Part memoir, part inspiration for aspiring writers, "And Then? And Then? What Else?" traces Handler’s sometimes challenging and often amusing path toward one of the most spectacularly successful writing careers of the twenty-first century. Declaring his love of strange literature, Baudelaire’s The Flowers of Evil in particular, Handler reflects on the life experiences—some of them deeply personal and revealed for the first time—and the cultural influences that shaped his writing, both under his own name and as Lemony Snicket, the lonely, beleaguered, somehow both cynical and romantic narrator of the beloved thirteen-volume saga of three unlucky orphans that became one of the best-selling series of all time. Inspiring, revelatory, and entertaining, "And Then? And Then? What Else?" is destined to become a classic of its genre, every bit as influential as Eudora Welty’s "One Writer’s Beginnings" or Stephen King’s "On Writing" have been on previous generations.
