Traversing his personal canon from his first encounter with Baudelaire to Vladimir Nabokov, Elizabeth Bishop and The Pet Shop Boys, Handler offers a witty, poignant exploration of reading, writing and why we tell stories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Extraordinary... highly entertaining.
