Adverbios

In a novel too clever for its own good, Daniel Handler, who also writes as Lemony Snicket, explores a big topic: love between people and love between people and the universe. Can Joe help it if he falls in love with people who don't make him happy? And what about Helenashe's in love, but somehow this isn't enough. Shouldn't it be? And if it isn't enough, does this mean she's not really in love? It certainly seems to be spoiling the love she's in. And let's say there's a volcano underneath the citydoesn't that make things more urgent? Does urgency mean that you should keep the person you're with, or search for the best possible person? And what if the best possible person loves someone elselike the Snow Queen, for instance? The stories (each headed by an adverb modifying the noun love) display a cadre of couplings: gay, straight, platonic, perverse.
