Daniel Handler @ Barnes and Noble
This Wednesday, Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) signs his new young adult novel Why We Broke Up at the Skokie Barnes and Noble. Illustrator Maira Kalman will also be there. The novel tells the story of a breakup from a teenage girl's point of view. The L.A. Times says "it's easy to predict how Handler's story will conclude from the book's few pages. It's more difficult to take such an everyday tragedy with a predictable ending and elevate it to an end point of enduring, emotionally effective art." Barnes and Noble, 55 Old Orchard Center, Skokie, Wednesday, January 25 at 7:30pm.
