“Not sure what to swill while reading Swinburne, Woolf, or Wallace? While discussing The Hour, Bernard Devoto's classic essay on the most civilized and jovial of customs — the cocktail hour — Daniel Handler offers literary cocktail suggestions and provides a stiff drink to those in need of "cocktail therapy." Most importantly, he reminds us that it is as critical for the modern reader as it was for Fitzgerald and Dorothy Parker, to know how to drink — properly.”

Join us for an hour (or two!) with author Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket). Sip special cocktails and listen to Handler read from and talk about Bernard DeVoto's cocktail manifesto The Hour. Daniel will be joined by Jason Wilson, the Spirits columnist for the Washington Post and author of Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits (Sept. 2010).
