Daniel Handler, a.k.a. Lemony Snicket is author of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and most recently "Adverbs" and is featured in conversation with fellow author Andrew Sean Greer.

Known for his witty, dark and often absurd humor, Handler now puts his trademark spin on one of mankind's most celebrated and conflicted emotions in his new novel, Adverbs. Best known for his books written under his Lemony Snicket pseudonym, Handler's work has successfully appealed to both adults and children. This adjunct accordionist for the pop group the Magnetic Fields has recently been commissioned by the San Francisco Symphony for a piece in collaboration with composer Nathaniel Stookey.
