I’m planing to visit San Francisco, do you have any off-the-beaten path suggestions for when I’m there? I’m so excited to be in the city that was part of your brilliant novel Adverbs. You captured San Francisco’s spirit really well and I’d love to see some of the places that inspired you.

Thank you so much for your reply Mr. Handler! :) Honestly, it means the world to me that you took the time to write out a personal response to me. Come mid-May I'll brave the cold waters!!

So this sounds kind of schizophrenic but have you ever had the experience of of having the “writer” part of you break off to observe the response that the rest of you is feeling? I’m curious about your perceptions as a writer. I’d also like to say that you’re my favorite literary hero and your work has been a big inspiration on my own writing! Thank you so much.

If the Beatles never broke up which modern band would you like to see collaborating with them?

Can you suggest any writing exercises that you've found particularly helpful aside from the standard freewriting?
