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.

PENDENTE: Rubrica su Cinema, letteratura, fumetto ed esperienze culturali
La Fine dei Grandi Viaggi. E' così che mi piace definire quella malinconica sensazione che si prova quando noi lettori (o spettatori) concludiamo un lungo viaggio che ci ha appassionato, cresciuto e fatto scoprire lo Straordinario nascosto nell'Ordinario. Questa rubrica parla proprio di questo: grandi saghe fantasy analizzate a partire dalla loro matrice letteraria per poi passare ai loro eventuali adattamenti cinematografici o/e televisivi.La puntata che state per ascoltare è estremamente sgradevole.Forse perché c'è ben poco di lieto nelle storie raccontate dal malinconico cronista Lemony Snicket all'interno della saga letteraria nota come "Una serie di sfortunati eventi".Una serie di libri tetri, perfidi, sinistri e tremendamente irresistibili. E tutti da (ri) scoprire."L'uomo passa all'uomo la pena. Che si fa sempre più profonda come una piega costiera. Togliti dai piedi, dunque, prima che puoi...E non avere bambini tuoi"
It's time for One Funny Morning with special guest, Actor, Writer, Podcaster and Comedian -Rhys Darby! Rhys first captured US audiences as Murray, in HBO's Flight of the Conchords.

Such a shame they had to break such a nice window. Today we are talking about The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket, which is a book about three kids who go to live with a woman they don't know in a house that would not pass inspection. Don't say you will be a guardian for three orphans if you are willing to give them over to a murderer just so you can go and hide in a cave the rest of your life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/book-cult--5718878/support.

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.

This episode originally aired on December 13, 2022 under the title “Peanuts is Autistic.”“Our relationships are based on the three F's. Friends, family, and fictional characters.”“He was a very big proponent of gay rights because one of his best friends is Billie Jean King and Peppermint Patty is directly based on her.”“The entire world seems incredibly chaotic to us. And we need this structure and we need this routine in order to be happy, in order to be healthy, in order to be productive. And it seems like Charles Schultz really, really leaned into this because that is what helped him be who he was.”“This is so pathologizing and so incorrect because we, These are the things that give us life. These are the things that bring us joy.”“He said, ‘that's what life was about to me.' He didn't say ‘that's what I liked.' He didn't say ‘that's what I loved.'

This episode originally aired on November 7, 2022 under the title “Poetry is Autistic.”“That seems largely like Autistic torture, because leaving the sanctity of a well-stocked library to go make small talk…” “Yeah, literally.” “Oh, my God.”“Due to the monotropic mindset, when we find something that is appealing, we have to dive deeply and fully into it…whatever it is that feeds this passion for us. If we are in the zone, we are healing.”“And can you imagine, like, the social anxiety? All you want to do is read. You're in the middle of a great book and you have to go see some fake ass people and smile and drink tea.”“This is a thing that I don't understand about neurotypical culture, because it's based largely on colonialism, white supremacy, puritanism, and all this stuff. There's this element of, ‘Have you tried just suffering?'”Do you write poetry? Are you an Autistic rebel? How do you relate to Emily?Fan Favorite Game, design #4 (get yours here)Play the game!

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.
