Andrew Budson - Daniel Handler

  This week, conversations with two writers of newly published books - one on caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, and another on writing and creativity.  In the first half of the program, we’ll hear from Dr. Andrew Budson, a neuroscientist and Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine.  On August 31, 2021, Dr. Budson talked to Simone Silverstein about his book Six Steps to Managing Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia.   Under the pen name Lemony Snicket, Daniel Handler is responsible for the beloved thirteen-volume A Series of Unfortunate Events and the four-volume All the Wrong Questions, among other books. Mr. Snicket is back with his first book for readers of all ages, a whimsical and philosophical novel that begins with the protagonist Snicket finding a note that informs him: “You had poison for breakfast.” On August 30, 2021, Daniel Handler talked to his sister, the writer Rebecca Handler, about writing again as Mr. Snicket, about craft, and about family.
