GOOD HUMOR: THREE LIVES – NONFICTION

SHALOM AUSLANDER was raised in a dysfunctional family in the Orthodox Jewish community of Monsey, New York: the son of an alcoholic father, guilt-wielding mother, and a violent, overbearing God. But he began to suspect that what plagued him was something worse: a story called “Feh.” Feh: A Memoir is his midlife journey to rewrite that tale. In And Then? And Then? What Else?, DANIEL HANDLER recounts his journey to becoming one of the most successful writers of the 21st century. Handler reflects on the life experiences and cultural influences that shaped his writing, both under his own name and his pen name, Lemony Snicket, the cynical, romantic narrator of one of the bestselling children’s series of all time. In Ben & Me: In Search of a Founder’s Formula for a Long and Useful Life, ERIC WEINER embarks on a quest to live the way Benjamin Franklin lived, mining practical lessons from the founder, statesperson, scientist, inventor, diplomat, publisher, humorist, and philosopher. After all, Franklin believed in the American experiment – but his greatest experiment was himself.
