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. Lemony Snicket is the author of the thirteen volumes in A Series of Unfortunate Events; several picture books, including "The Dark" and "The Bad Mood and the Stick"; and the books collectively titled "All the Wrong Questions." About "And Then? and Then? What Else?": Part memoir, part inspiration for aspiring writers, "And Then? And Then? What Else?" traces Daniel 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.
