| msb@vex.net (Mark Brader): Mar 26 09:20PM -0500 These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2015-11-02, and should be interpreted accordingly. On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty. Please post all your answers to the newsgroup in a single followup, based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal the correct answers in about 3 days. All questions were written by members of the Bloor St. Irregulars, and are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have been retyped and/or edited by me. For further information see my 2015-08-18 companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition (QFTCI*)". * Game 6, Round 9 - Literature - European Literature Where a title is asked for, if the original work was not in English, you can give either the English or the original version. 1. "Swann's Way", "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower", "The Guermantes Way", "Sodom & Gomorrah", "The Prisoner", "The Fugitive", and "Time Regained". These are the 7 volumes of which early 20th century novel, one of the longest ever written? 2. In this, the first book of his Danzig Trilogy, Günter Grass tells the story of Oskar Matzerath, who decides to never grow up, living through World War II in the body of a child. The book is named for Oskar's prized possession, which has to be replaced several times over the course of the novel. Name the novel. 3. This author is best known in the West for his magnum opus about the First World War and its aftermath. The work was smuggled to Italy in 1957 for publication. He won the 1958 Nobel Prize for Literature, but was unable to leave his country to accept it. Name the author. 4. This author's best-known work is "La condition humaine" ("Man's Fate"), a novel about a Communist uprising in Shanghai, which won the Prix Goncourt in 1933. During the presidency of Charles de Gaulle, he served as France's Minster of Culture. Name the author. 5. Although he had considerable success in his native Italy as a poet of the Decadent school, this man is best remembered today for seizing the city of Fiume in 1919 and declaring a short-lived republic which was a forerunner of Mussolini's Fascist movement. Name this poet, war hero, and Duce of Carnaro. 6. Major works by this author include "Siddhartha" and "The Glass Bead Game". He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. However, his best-known work is the one we referenced in our Band Name Origins round in Game 3. Name the author. 7. Set in the far future, this 1924 novel by Yevgeny Zamyatin tells the story of D-503, who struggles against the mechanistic society of the One State. Orwell started writing "Nineteen Eighty-Four" a few months after reviewing the book. What is the 2-letter title of this influential dystopian novel? 8. This Algerian-born existentialist writer wrote numerous works of non-fiction, including "The Myth of Sisyphus" and "The Rebel". However, he is best-known for a 1942 novel in which Meursault fails to cry at his mother's funeral and kills an Arab on the beach. Name either the Nobel-prizewinning author or that novel. 9. This man is the author of numerous works in Czech, such as "The Joke and Life is Elsewhere". His best-known work was first published in French in 1984, and involves a bowler hat and a love triangle, in Prague in the late 1960s. The book was adapted (loosely) into a 1988 movie starring Jeremy Irons, Juliette Binoche, and Lena Olin. Name either the Czech author or that novel. 10. In this 1946 novel, the best-known work of Nikos Kazantzakis, the narrator is taught to appreciate love and life by the title character, a flamboyant older man. The 1964 movie adaptation received 7 Academy Award nominations, including one for Anthony Quinn as the title character. Name the novel. * Game 6, Round 10 - Challenge Round - Johnsons Staring dejectedly at the QM and mumbling "Johnson" as an answer won't be good enough on this roudn! All answers (where applicable) will require the full name to be acceptable. A. Johnsons who Play Golf A1. This American, who has had nine Top 10 major finishes since 2010, has been more in the news lately for his voluntary leave of absence in 2014 following an apparent positive drug test for cocaine -- as well as his association with Paulina Gretzky, his fiancee and mother to his son Tatum. Name the Johnson! A2. This Iowa native has 28 professional wins since 1998; the two biggest are the 2007 Masters and, most recently, the 2015 British Open title that he won in a 3-way playoff. Who is this Johnson? B. Johnsons who Play Music B1. Name this Englishman, known for his distinctive raspy voice, who took over lead singer duties of AC/DC from Bon Scott, following Scott's untimely death in 1980. Which Johnson is it? B2. Son of famous surfer Jeff Johnson, this mellow Hawaiian has sold millions of records since his 2002 debut album "Brushfires and Fairytales", and is best known for the songs "Upside Down", "Better Together", and "Sitting, Waiting, Wishing". Name that Johnson! C. Johnsons who Write (or Wrote) C1. This accomplished English writer, poet, biographer, essayist, literary critic, editor, and lexicographer born in 1709 is one of the most significant literary figures in history, but is perhaps even more famous as the subject of a biography by James Boswell that is widely considered the greatest English-language biography ever. Name this Johnson. C2. Name this American writer, the winner of the 2013 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for his novel "The Orphan Master's Son", which was described by New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani as "a daring and remarkable novel, a novel that not only opens a frightening window on the mysterious kingdom of North Korea but one that also excavates the very meaning of love and sacrifice." D. Johnsons who were President of the USA D1. Andrew Johnson, the 17th American President, served between two other more famous presidents, who were hugely significant figures in the US Civil War. Name *both* of these two men. D2. Please decode the rot13 only after you have finished with the previous question. Ylaqba O.

Johnsons who are (or were) Canadian E1. This Canadian poet, writer, and performer of Mohawk/English descent became famous in the last 1800s and early 1900s around the country with her dramatic talent, beauty, and stage presence -- as well as regularly publishing her works in periodicals such as the "Globe" and "Saturday Night". Selected publications include "The White Wampum" and "Legends of Vancouver". Name this lady Johnson. E2. Jamaican-born sprinter Ben Johnson exhilarated Canadians by setting a world record time in the 100 m dash at 9.79 seconds at the 1988 Summer Olympics. This record lasted all of 3 days, until Johnson was disqualified over steroid use. What city hosted this infamous race? F. Johnson & Johnson F1. Incorporated in 1887 by brothers Robert, James, and Edward, Johnson & Johnson has become a multinational healthcare company with such famous brands as Band-Aid, Neutrogena and Acuvue. The company also produces drugs to treat such conditions as cancer, ADHD, and rheumatoid arthritis. In 2012, the FDA approved Sirturo (bedaquiline) -- the first new medicine in the previous 40 years to fight *what infectious disease*? F2. In 1982, the pharmaceutical giant was forced to recall 31,000,000 bottles of Tylenol capsules after 7 individuals in the Chicago area died following ingesting pills that had been laced with *what toxic substance*? -- Mark Brader | "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, Toronto | when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!" msb@vex.net | --Upton Sinclair My text in this article is in the public domain. |
