Why Is This Man Singing?




It's hyperrich author Daniel Handler himself! Holding forth caterwaul style with a self-penned and frankly awful song to celebrate the formation of the new privileged writers advocacy group and defense committee: POWW!

Protect
Our
Wealthy
Writers
!

POWW!

Much discussion took place as to whether they should add an extra "W" to the title. For Wonderful, of course. This was Mr. Beller's suggestion. "After all, everything about us is so wonderful'" Mr. Beller says with a large and friendly Mr. Beller's Neighborhood grin. Then suddenly he begins to sniff.

"What's the matter?" someone asks.

"I found this scrap piece of paper in my pocket just now. It says 'POWW!' on it. From one of our early discussions. It's so wonderful."

The moody giant begins to sob.

Meanwhile, the celebration among others at the cozy bistro continues. While Daniel Handler plays the accordion, Jay McInerney dances a jig.
