SUMMARY:Daniel Handler\, And Then? And Then? What Else? Featuring music by Louis Ledford & Norah McLaughlin
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a bold\, candid\, vulnerable\, and entertaining memoir of a literary life by the writer otherwise known as Lemony Snicket. \nPart 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. \nDaniel Handler is the author of seven novels\, including Why We Broke Up\, We Are Pirates\, All The Dirty Parts and Bottle Grove. His new book on writing And Then? And Then? What Else? is forthcoming from Liverlight/W.W. Norton in 2024. As Lemony Snicket\, he is responsible for numerous books for children\, including the thirteen-volume A Series of Unfortunate Events\, the four-volume All the Wrong Questions\, and The Dark\, which won the Charlotte Zolotow Award. Mr. Snicket’s first book for readers of all ages\, Poison for Breakfast\, was published by Liveright/W.W. Norton in 2021. \nHandler has received commissions from the San Francisco Symphony\, Berkeley Reperatory Theater and the Royal Shakespeare Company\, and has collaborated with artist Maira Kalman on a series of books for the Museum of Modern Art in New York\, and with musicians Stephin Merritt (of the Magnetic Fields)\, Benjamin Gibbard (of Death Cab for Cutie)\, Colin Meloy (of the Decemberists) and Torquil Campbell (of Stars). \nHis books have sold more than 70 million copies and have been translated into 40 languages\, and have been adapted for film\, stage and television\, including the recent adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events for which he was awarded both the Peabody and the Writers Guild of America awards. \nHe lives in San Francisco with the illustrator Lisa Brown\, to whom he is married and with whom he has collaborated on several books and one son. \nLouis Ledford and Norah McLaughlin specialize in harmony singing not unlike the Everly’s\, Simon and Garfunkle\, or Gram with Emmylou. \nThe songs are by Ledford\, some of his friends as well as choice covers that you or your grandparents have never heard played quite like this before. \nLouis Ledford has written\, recorded and performed music for decades. The verdant fields of Virginia\, the fragrant wards of New Orleans and most recently\, the drizzly climes of Bellingham\, WA have all been home. \nNorah McLaughlin has been performing since she was a Whatcom County Kid in many wonderful bands including Kitty Kitty\, Alamo Social Club and Yogoman Burning Band. \nTickets: 1 Seat/1 copy of And Then? $37 / 2 Seats/1 copy of And Then? $47\nRegistration required!
