Poi lo rincontrai. Lui fu tanto affettuoso, carino, e io gli dissi che una sera in un momento di sconforto gli avevo scritto una lettera. Una lettera che non gli avevo mai spedito, che era una lettera — non ricordo, ma probabilmente di ammirazione, amore, in un certo senso, come si può amare una persona così… così meravigliosa, così importante, così geniale, com’era lui. E lui si dispiacque molto, mi disse: “No, non doveva fare così, lei mi doveva mandare quella lettera. Ecco, vede, lei adesso mi ha tolto qualcosa, perché io dovevo avere la sua lettera e lei me l’ha tolta non mandandomela. Queste cose, questi istinti vanno seguiti. Quello che si vuol fare col cuore si deve fare”.

Consciously, I was trying to write a fantasy that was true to my upbringing and experience. When I went to Ireland in 1982, I saw castles and stone circles and fairy rings and the like for the first time, and they were none of them anything like how I’d imagined them! It seemed to me, then, that Americans had a lot of nerve writing Fantasy, when so many of the essential elements were alien to us. So when I came up with the image of a changeling girl forced to work in a factory, building dragons, I recognized it as an opportunity to utilize the kind of environments I knew and had grown up with: factories, and garbage dumps, and malls and stripper bars, and to invest them with a kind of faerie glamor, which would in turn comment fruitfully on the world we have.

Interview with Daniel Handler

If you had a book club, what would it be reading?
I’ve been trying to start a “Dive Bar Proust Club,” in which we would meet each month in a different dive bar and discuss Proust. The responses “Do we have to meet in dive bars?” or “Do we have to read Proust?” are automatic disqualifications from membership.

What tips or advice do you have for writers still looking to be discovered?
Steal paper from work.

CUSE: We’re also using these things to set up an animated sitcom spin-off called ”Kate’s Horse and Sayid’s Cat.”
LINDELOF: That’s right. Sayid’s cat is coming up in episode 11. We’re not joking.
CUSE: Except for the animated part.
