rymenhildFrom the Jewish News Weekly of Northern California:
“Lemony [Snicket]is quite openly Jewish,” says [Daniel] Handler in a phone interview. “We’re not trying to pull a Madeleine Albright here. Like anyone with Jewish ancestry and an over-educated world view, Lemony’s life is rife with misfortune.”
This explains quite a bit about the Unfortunate Events books, I must say.
By the way, The Grim Grotto, Snicket's (and Handler's) newest book, is quite an entertaining way to spend procrastinatory time. I direct you to this brilliant sentence, from a passage about the various job requirements for people interested in the villainous life:
Villains require a small group of villainous cohorts, who can be persuaded to serve the villain in a henchpersonal capacity.
I shall now repeat the word "henchpersonal" over and over again.
That is all.
