Daniel Handler
The Basic Eight and Watch Your Mouth both have first-person voices, and I ended up investigating those voices and investing so much in them that I think many people took them more seriously than they ought to have.
Daniel Handler
Your initial opinion on just about anything may change over time.
Daniel Handler
When you start reading nonfiction books about piracy, you realize that it's actually just a history of desperate people.
