When a scrappy San Francisco literary journal launched in 1985 to champion West Coast writers, the dream was to make a lasting imprint. Now, 40 years later, we celebrate Zyzzyza's anniversary with editor Oscar Villalón and writers Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) and Ingrid Rojas Contreras. We'll talk about the literary journal's vision, its stellar roster of writers and poets, and what makes the West Coast literary scene special. Guests: Oscar Villalon, editor, Zyzzyva Magazine - San Francisco based literary journal Daniel Handler, author of the children's book series "A Series of Unfortunate Events" under the pen name "Lemony Snicket" - contributor, "The End of the Golden Gate" Ingrid Rojas Contreras, Bay Area-based writer, author of the novel “Fruit of the Drunken Tree” and the memoir “The Man Who Could Move Clouds” Learn more about your ad choices.

It took nearly six years for bestselling author Daniel Handler to sell his first book, a satirical novel called The Basic Eight. When his agent sold it in 1998, it was “for the least amount she had ever negotiated for,” laughed Handler, who spoke at a UC Berkeley event earlier this month. More than two decades later, Handler has published seven novels. Under his pen name Lemony Snicket, he has written dozens of books for children, including the 13-volume series A Series of Unfortunate Events. His most recent book, And Then? And Then? What else?, is part memoir, part inspiration for aspiring writers. Handler was the keynote speaker at the Magnes Collection of Jewish Art and Life's inaugural Jewish Arts and Bookfest, a day of events held on May 4 in celebration of Jewish American Heritage Month. Throughout the day, artists and authors came together for panel discussions, workshops and other programming that showcased the Jewish experience through art, culture and storytelling. In episode 226 of Berkeley Talks, Handler, joined in conversation by J. The Jewish News of Northern California's editor-in-chief Chanan Tigay, discusses how his Jewish identity shapes his worldview and storytelling, where the name “Lemony Snicket” came from and how a great mentor taught him to read work by authors he admired in order to hone his craft.“When you suggest that we create our own canon, you don't necessarily mean a list of books that are the most significant to us,” Tigay said to Handler at the event, “but actually, the moments in books, turns of phrase and plot twists that are, in some ways, significant. “And I'm wondering if you could take us through a bit of your own canon, in that regard, the moments and turns of phrase and plot twists in books, specific books that have been most impactful to you as a writer?”“For writers, I try to encourage them to seek out what they're enthused by,” Handler replied. “ … So instead of saying, ‘Gosh darn it, Toni Morrison is sure a great writer,' that you think, ‘What is it about Beloved that I return to, that I think about all the time?' … Then, you can go back and find that scene, and look at it, and study it for what it is that you're trying to do, what you're trying to take from it."Handler went on to describe how a scene from the 1958 film Vertigo, when an important character named Midge leaves halfway through the story, inspired the structure of his second novel."My second novel Watch Your Mouth has two parts," he said. "I remember thinking, 'I want ... to have that feeling of like, OK, some things are gone. What in the world can happen in the second half of this story?' That was exciting to me, and I lifted that from that scene in Vertigo. No one in a million years would think that, there's nothing in the novel that reflects that plot or anything like that, but that was what it did for me." This conversation was recorded by Aaron Levy-Wolins / J. The Jewish News of Northern California.Read more about the speakers on the Magnes' website.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts).Photo by Brittany Hosea-Small for UC Berkeley.Music by Blue Dot Sessions.

The Drunken Odyssey with John King: A Podcast About the Writing Life
This week's show collects three interviews with prose writers Daniel Handler, Griffin Dunne, and Ridley Pearson in joyful, fun conversations conducted last November at Miami Book Fair.
On this special episode, we're featuring a conversation from our friends at the Professional Book Nerds podcast, a podcast from the book nerds at OverDrive. Every week host Joe Skelley chats book recommendations on a theme with his friends and bookish experts, interviews authors and personalities, and encourages people to check out all the amazing resources their library has to offer. Ranked number 5 of the top 100 book podcasts, this is the place for book nerds! In today's episode, Joe chats with author Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) LIVE during his book tour for And Then? And Then? What Else? Joe and Daniel talk about Tim Curry, sharing your personal life publicly, and what exactly it's like being Lemony Snicket.

Disheartened by the 37 rejection letters in his back pocket, Daniel was shocked when a hasty bar-pitch landed him with a $40,000 publishing deal. After all, he was still relatively unknown…and his children's story was odd to say the least. What kind of kid would want to read a faux (FOE) gothic novel about three orphans with a bloodthirsty relative out for their inheritance”? If this plot is sounding familiar…you may have heard of Daniel Handler before—or should we say…Lemony Snicket. Despite Daniel's slow start in the publishing industry, he has since sold over 70 million copies of his books and become a household name. His literary work has also spawned countless film and tv spin offs, most recently the 2017 award-winning Netflix show “A Series of Unfortunate Events” starring Neil Patrick Harris. But before Count Olaf ever entered the picture, before he spent months writing in a dusty college basement, Daniel started like many other writers do: with a book in his hand.

Host Diana Korte speaks with Daniel Handler--perhaps better known for 25 years as his alter ego Lemony Snicket--who has authored his 30th book, “And Then? And Then? What Else?" It's a fully engaging memoir from who's that guy in the coffee shop wearing big headphones while scribbling on index cards to details of his love of books always, along with advice for aspiring writers. Woven through is his path toward one of the most spectacularly successful writing careers of the 21st century. My personal favs in this interview are how he feels about selling 70,000,000 books and the tale of the Nobel Prize for Literature. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/booktalk-diana-korte/message
Kalindi Ramphul a publié Les Jours mauves aux éditions JC Lattès, en mai 2024. C'est un roman décalé et émouvant sur la mort du père. Décalé, car c'est un livre sur le deuil mais empli de drôlerie, de joie et de tendresse. Indira, le personnage principal, a 30 ans et son père vient de mourir. Avant de disparaître, le père avait une volonté : que ses cendres soient répandues sur Mars. Pas la planète rouge, mais le nom de son PMU préféré, perché au sommet des Pyrénées. Et pour ce faire, Indira a une idée qu'elle va aussitôt regretter : faire un roadtrip en autocar avec toutes les personnes qui ont aimé son père. C'est un roman d'initiation, un roadtrip entre Little Miss Sunshine et Big Fish.Dans ce nouvel épisode du Moment des Livres, Alice Develey, journaliste au Figaro Littéraire, reçoit Kalindi Ramphul pour parler de La Joie de vivre d'Émile Zola, de La Désastreuse aventure des orphelins Baudelaire de Daniel Handler et de Le courage qu'il faut aux rivières d'Emmanuelle Favier.Vous pouvez retrouver Le moment des Livres sur Figaro Radio, le site du Figaro et toutes les plateformes d'écoute.

The Drunken Odyssey with John King: A Podcast About the Writing Life
In this week's show, John talks with Daniel Handler about the absurd fun of stress-testing reality, the joys of listening to Sun Ra & Prince, the efficacy of writing on ordinary writing pads, and the importance of waiting for the good stuff to come to us as writers.
Writing as Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler has led several generations of young readers into that special and curious space of being hopelessly lost, and joyfully finding yourself, in the essential strangeness of literature. His latest, "And Then? And Then? What Else?" is a book not just for anyone curious about the creator of Lemony Snicket, but for anyone who loved books when they were a child, and still loves them now.

Author Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket of "A Series of Unfortunate Events") discusses his new book, "And Then? And Then? What Else?" He tells host Nancy Pearl that it began as a book about the poems of Baudelaire but transformed into something more personal. It offers a peek behind the scenes of the industry and an explanation of how he went from being "tiresome in every undergraduate way" to the writer he is today. Essentially, he says, it's sort of "how I write."

The result is a charming, authentic peek into the writing process.ABOUT THE BOOKA road trip to find closure… or a reckless chase that could turn deadly? Penny has never met anyone smarter than her. That's par for the course when you're a savant—one of less than one hundred in the world. But despite her photographic memory and super-powered intellect, there's one mystery Penny's never been able to solve: why did her father leave when she was in a coma at age seven, and where is he now? On Penny's twenty-first birthday, she receives a card in the mail from him, just as she has every year since he left. But this birthday card is different. For the first time ever, there's a return address. And a goodbye. Penny doesn't know the world beyond her mother's house and the special school she's attended since her unusual abilities revealed themselves, but the mystery of her father's disappearance becomes her new obsession. For the first time ever she decides to leave home, to break free of everything that has kept her safe, and use her gifts to answer the questions that have always eluded her. What Penny doesn't realize is she might not be able to outsmart a world far more complicated and dangerous than she'd ever imagined...
The best-selling American writer Daniel Handler is perhaps better known by his pen name, Lemony Snicket. Lemony is the cynical narrator of a thirteen book saga called A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's the tale of three unlucky orphans, Violet, Klaus and Sonny Baudelaire, who are hounded by their guardian, the sinister Count Olaf. The books are a phenomenon, selling more than 70 million copies around the world, along with a film starring Jim Carrey and a series on Netflix. Lemony has published many more books for children, and Daniel has also written seven novels for adults under his own name, as well as a screenplay inspired by Verdi's Rigoletto. He's also a keen accordion player and has performed with bands including Death Cab for Cutie, the Decemberists and the Magnetic Fields. Daniel has described himself as an ‘unrepentant classical zealot' and his musical choices include Dvořák, Scriabin and Berlioz.
Andrew Sean Greer won the Pulitzer Prize for his comic novel, Less. For this episode he reads an excerpt from the follow up book, Less is Lost, and describes how he thinks of the book as more serious than many readers. For the songwriter in this episode, Andrew requested Torquil Campbell of the band Stars, and Torq secretly invited Andrew's close friend Daniel Handler (aka the wildly popular children's author Lemony Snicket) to collaborate on it. Unbeknownst to many of his fans, Daniel is a seriously experienced songwriter and session musician, who has collaborated with Death Cab for Cutie, The Decembrists, and Magnetic Fields, and he and Torq trade anecdotes, make fun of each other relentlessly, and talk about the truly sweet surprise they cooked up together for Andrew, a song called "Not the Best."SongWriterPodcast.comTwitter.com/SnogWriterFacebook.com/SongWriterPodcastInstagram.com/SongWriterPodcastTikTok.com/@SongWriterPodcast
Disheartened by the 37 rejection letters in his back pocket, Daniel was shocked when a hasty bar-pitch landed him with a $40,000 publishing deal. After all, he was still relatively unknown…and his children's story was odd to say the least. What kind of kid would want to read a faux (FOE) gothic novel about three orphans with a bloodthirsty relative out for their inheritance”? If this plot is sounding familiar…you may have heard of Daniel Handler before—or should we say…Lemony Snicket. Despite Daniel's slow start in the publishing industry, he has since sold over 70 million copies of his books and become a household name. His literary work has also spawned countless film and tv spin offs, most recently the 2017 award-winning Netflix show “A Series of Unfortunate Events” starring Neil Patrick Harris. But before Count Olaf ever entered the picture, before he spent months writing in a dusty college basement, Daniel started like many other writers do: with a book in his hand.
Writing as Lemony Snicket, author Daniel Handler has given countless children important life lessons about tragic accidents, conspiracies, reptiles, secret societies, doom, and malevolence. He talks to Dr. Alan Campbell about his work and career, and what to do to alleviate boredom. A charming, truly weird edition of Watching America.
Synopsis It's a book – it's a YouTube video – it's a concert hall work! It's by Stookey and Snicket! Now, “Stookey and Snicket” is not the name of a law firm in some obscure novel by Charles Dickens, but is in fact the collaborative team of American composer Nathaniel Stookey and American novelist Daniel Handler, who writes popular children's books under the pen name of Lemony Snicket. Stookey was the youngest composer ever commissioned for the San Francisco Symphony's New and Unusual Music Series when he collaborated with Handler on a piece for narrator and orchestra. Their collaboration, entitled “The Composer Is Dead,” premiered on this date in 2006. This “new and usual” work with a macabre title is similar to Prokofiev's “Peter and the Wolf” and Britten's “The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra” in that it intends to introduce young audiences to the instruments of the orchestra. But anyone familiar with Lemony Snicket books can expect something a little quirky, and, in fact, “The Composer Is Dead” is a murder mystery, complete with a police inspector rounding up the usual suspects, and eventually pointing the finger… And if you want to find out “whodunit” – well, you'll have to buy the book!

Sutro Tower may be the most beloved landmark among San Francisco residents, and after this best-of episode from 2021, we'll all have a PhD in the Sutro's history and present. Sutro spokesman Dave Hyams joins co-hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight to talk about what exactly Sutro does in 2021, the constant maintenance and some wild trivia. Did you know that there's so much concrete underneath Sutro Tower that the center of gravity is below ground? And no mayor has ever been to the top. (Be the first London Breed!) Also in this episode, we give a Total SF Book Club update, and replay Daniel Handler's very funny S.F.-centric accordion version of "Should I Stay or Should I Go" Produced by Peter Hartlaub. Music is "The Tide Will Rise" by the Sunset Shipwrecks off their album "Community" and cable car bell-ringing by 8-time champion Byron Cobb.

Steve has a warning for all listeners... Then, they are joined by Lemony Snicket (aka Daniel Handler), the author of A Series of Unfortunate Events! They talk about breaking the rules of literature, writing as Lemony Snicket, being "well-adjusted", book banning, book presentation, the ASOUE film and Netflix series, rejection, and more! It's all misery and despair, this one.

Friends, Daniel Handler (the true author of the book we're reading this week - Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book One: A Bad Beginning [1999]) tells a GRIM story. However, the way he tells it is so amusing and comforting that we can't help but love it. We hope you will, too.Other conversation topics: pasta puttanesca (simply delicious with or without anchovies), the 1990 movie Reversal of Fortune, and getting dressed up for imaginary weddings to Captain Georg Von Trapp. Next time: From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler (1967), by E.L. Konigsburg.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!
I have been fortunate to know Daniel Handler for many years at first I didn't even know he was an author. Even better I think he was glad I didn't make a big deal about it I thought he was just an incredibly funny guy and our kids went to school together. Well little did I know what a following his books had, and the fun we would have as well as the trouble we would create. So it is my pleasure to introduce the one and only Daniel Handler.

His new book, Poison for Breakfast, publishes fall2021.When inconvenience or treachery prohibits him from making anappearance, Mr. Snicket is represented by Daniel Handler, author of sevenunnerving novels himself. www.danielhandler.com @DanielHandler @authordanielhandler

In this episode of Are You There, Ghost? It's Me, Chiwan, our host catches up with horror writer extraordinaire Kate Maruyama, who was raised in a small college town in New England and now lives in Los Angeles with her family. Chiwan first met her in 2014 and was knocked out by her debut novel, Harrowgate, of which Daniel Handler, author of A Series of Unfortunate Events, says, "Strangely moving and movingly strange, Harrowgate is the world's creepiest answer to 'How's the wife and kid?'" Her new book, the novella Family Solstice, is equally frightening and equally moving. #haunted #ghost #Harrowgate
(3:04) The Marriage of Figaro (Le Nozze di Figaro), Cosí fan tutte and Don Giovanni are three of opera's most well-known works. San Francisco Opera's new production of The Marriage of Figaro premiered in 2019, and despite his familiarity with this opera, the production left a profound impact on Company Music Librarian and North Stage Door producer Michael Bragg, who shares his story along with production cast members Nicole Heaston (Countess Almaviva), Michael Sumuel (Figaro) and San Francisco Opera's Director of Diversity, Equity and Community Charles Mc Neal.(14:34) Mozart and Da Ponte never intended for these three operas to become a trilogy. So what the… General Director Matthew Shilvock and Michael Cavanagh, director of the Company's new Mozart-Da Ponte Trilogy—set in an American house across a 300-year timespan, and continuing this season with the premieres of his new productions of Cosi fan tutte (Nov/Dec 2021) and Don Giovanni (June/July 2022)—explain.(24:34) San Francisco Opera Assistant Stage Manager and North Stage Door producer Rachel Garoon has a confession….and gets through it with the help of Dr. Kristi Brown-Montesano, chair of Music History at the Colburn Conservatory of Music and author of “Understanding the Women of Mozart's Operas,” stage director Shawna Lucey, and marriage and family therapist Kathleen Shiltz.(37:02) Did you know that Mozart was one of many composers who borrowed music from other operas for his own shows? San Francisco Opera Public Relations Director (and jazz trumpeter Lee Morgan biographer) Jeffery McMillan take us on a musical quotation treasure hunt.(49:02) How would you have written the end of Don Giovanni? North Stage Door executive producer Molly McBride talks to Bay Area-native Daniel Handler—author of seven novels, including Why We Broke Up, We Are Pirates, All The Dirty Parts and, most recently, Bottle Grove; and who, under the pen name Lemony Snicket, is also responsible for the thirteen-volume A Series of Unfortunate Events—about writing, music, opera, and his relationship with all three.
