Interviews

Author Daniel Handler, better known as Lemony Snicket, is famous for A Series of Unfortunate Events. The frightening and funny 13-volume bestselling series about the Baudelaire children was adapted into a feature film, starring Jim Carrey, and will soon appear as an original show on Netflix. On a quiet day for Handler, I called him in San Francisco, where he lives with his wife, illustrator Lisa Brown, and teenage son, Otto. To unveil the mystery that is Daniel Handler, we talked about avocado toast, bacon, and the power of coffee. He held nothing back.
