Title: And Then? And Then? What Else? – A Writer’s Life
Author: HANDLER DANIEL

‘One of our most dazzling literary conjurers.’ Michael Chabon

Dear Reader,
If you are looking for a passionate romance, a slick political thriller or, perhaps, a ripping yarn with volcanos, pirates and ghosts; a book where everything ends neatly and makes perfect, unequivocal sense, then I’m
afraid this is not the book you’re looking for.
If you like stories about degenerate French poetry, second-hand bookshops, eccentric acting troupes, adulterous vicars, balloons with cryptic messages scrawled upon them and diamonds concealed in the sole of a woman’s shoe – then, please, read on…

Known to most as Lemony Snicket, the tormented narrator of A Series of Unfortunate Events, Daniel Handler spends his days writing – for children and adults; film and television; and, on occasion, the accordion. Tracing his life in books from his first encounter with Baudelaire at a local library, And Then? And Then? What Else? offers a witty, poignant exploration of reading, writing and why we tell stories.
