Why we all need loneliness and bewilderment and other thoughts on dead goldfish

Meredith Heuer
Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, with his back to the camera and his wife Lisa Brown.

Bill Radke speaks with Daniel Handler, aka Lemony Snicket, and his wife Lisa Brown about their new book, "Goldfish Ghost." Handler wrote the story and Brown did the illustrations. And as you might guess from the title, it's a kid's story about a dead goldfish. Handler and Brown discuss the new book, why we don't really want happy endings, and the need for loneliness and bewilderment in our daily lives.
