Author Description

Be crowned the literary champion in this fun take on traditional trivia-the more books you know and the faster you can answer, the more you score. Literary Listblitz is a game for two to six players centered on books and their authors, and each question will challenge your knowledge of the literary canon. You win by listing as many possible answers as you can or correctly identifying the feature that unifies a list, with questions like- What were Jane Austen's six major novels? (That would be Emma, Persuasion, Sense & Sensibility, Mansfield Park, Pride & Prejudice, and Northanger Abbey) Ralph, Piggy, Jack, Simon, and Roger all belong to which novel? (Lord of the Flies, of course) Who is the Canadian treasure that writes dystopian fiction but started with poetry, won the Booker prize twice, and had her most famous novel, The Handmaid's Tale, adapted into a TV show starring Elisabeth Moss? (Margaret Atwood, naturally.) The more you know, the more points you can earn in this fun twist on trivia. With 300 questions covering works from Charles Dickens to Celeste Ng, any book lover can compete whether you read classics or modern fiction. Play with one other person or gather a group and compete to win as you show off your literary knowledge.
