An Interview with Daniel Handler, Author of Adverbs

Welcome to episode 13 of the Harper Perennial Podcast, a show about the life of books.

In this episode, we talk with Daniel Handler, who is well-known for his pen-name. Lemony Snicket, and his 'Series of Unfortunate Events' books for children. Handler has just released his third novel for adults, titled Adverbs.

Adverbs is a collection of intertwined short stories, each titled with an adverb, and each exploring a different aspect of the most universal emotion -- love. Handler's storytelling skill and his playful use of language make for a reading experience as delightfully complex as love itself.

Adverbs is available at bookstores and online retailers now.
