In his memoir, And Then? And Then? What Else?, Handler reflects on his childhood in San Francisco, the authors who shaped his voice, and the traumatic early-life experiences that have informed the way he moves through the world.\n\nThough he now splits his time between the United States and Italy, San Franciscans are fortunate to claim Pulitzer Prize-winning author Andrew Sean Greer as one of our own. His six works of fiction include the bestsellers The Story of a Marriage, The Confessions of Max Tivoli, Less (which earned him his Pulitzer), and Less is Lost. "},"discountAvailable":null,"curatorInsight":{"curatorInsight":"Two of SF’s bright literary lights share some of their favorite writing passages, analyzing them on a sentence level with a shared enthusiasm for language and storytelling. Daniel Handler (author, most famously, of the Lemony Snicket books) and Andrew Sean Greer (winner of the Pulitzer for his novel “Less”) are longtime friends with a delightful rapport. This program, Paragraphs on Ice, is notable: discussions this informative are rarely so fun."},"curator":{"name":"Evan Karp","position":null,"description":{"description":"Evan is the founding director of Quiet Lightning and Litseen.
