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 under his pseudonym Lemony Snicket.
