Ask Snicket
With the paperback release of A Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket is helping literally tens of people who, like you, have problems. Here is his advice to one troubled soul, appearing in the first edition of HarperCollins’s “The Cornucopian Cavalcade.”
Dear Mr. Snicket, I would like to be a writer when I grow up, but my dad wants me to be a dentist. Help!
Troubled in Tacoma
Dear Ms. Troubled, Take extensive notes on your father’s behavior. A man who pressures other people into dentistry will be a wonderful character for your first book.
With all due respect, LS
