First published 2007
In this collection of darkly comic vignettes, Lemony Snicket serves up a buffet of wry truths. From the cruelty of laughing at someone's silly hat to the wisdom of prioritizing survival over trying your best, Snicket's pithy aphorisms expose the inherent ironies of the human experience. Brimming with his trademark brand of gleeful misery, "Horseradish" is a delightfully unhappy antidote to life's comforting clichés.
