More From Daniel Handler

I was in a pharmacy and i saw the warnings on the backs of poisonous substances, and i thought, "well, that's what i can do." so i wrote a list of ingredients in the book, and warnings that they shouldn't consume those ingredients. the editor and the publisher thought that it was a great way to go in terms of reverse psychology, but it honestly hadn't occurred to me that it was reverse psychology. i just thought that it was sort of an honest assessment making clear that if you were timid or easily disturbed, you could turn away.

Facts Protest Clear
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.
