Adverbs by Daniel Handler

A dramatic meditation on love both fleeting and everlasting, Adverbs is a serious work of fiction by one of today's most innovative voices, and famed author of the Lemony Snicket series.

'The ingenuity and panache of these stories is instantly attractive' Daily Telegraph

‘One of our most dazzling literary conjurers shuffles the deck of contemporary consciousness and desire. A thrilling feat of tragic magic.' Michael Chabon

'Handler's writing is artful, perverse, irreverent, truthful and ridiculous – but it's rarely less than brilliant.' New Statesman

'Witty, perplexing…This is an interesting and intelligent work, of which I think Lemony Snicket would be proud.' Literary Review

'Cleverly held together…as thought-provoking as it is confusing.' FT Magazine

'Exuberantly funny voice and ability to lard his stories with details that return, pages later, with multiplied resonance.' Scotsman

'Handler shows great skill in drawing characters and telling their stories. Beguilingly, humorously and at times brilliantly. Definitely worth reading…' Express

‘He's enjoying himself. He's simply taken the tricks out for a joyride and the reader has been invited along.' Sunday Business Post
