- Rotating Quiz 285 - Literature - 1 Update
| Joe <joe@oxtedonline.com>: Mar 21 08:08AM Welcome to Rotating Quiz 285. Usual rules apply i.e answer purely from your own knowledge without recourse to external references. In the event of a tie the hardest question will be used as the first tie-breaker and then, if necessary, the first set of answers posted. I will mark this on or just after Tuesday 27 March 2018. All questions are worth one point each except where stated. First novels. I give you the title and publication date of a well known author's first novel, you supply the author's name. 1) Almayer's Folly (1895) 2) The White Peacock (1911) 3) Cup of Gold (1929) First Names. I give you the name by which a writer is best known, you supply their first name. 4) Lord Byron 5) Harper Lee 6) Salman Rushdie Pseudonyms. I give you the real name of a well known author, you supply their pen name. 7) Eric Arthur Blair 8) David Cornwell 9) Francois-Marie Arouet Fictional languages. In which books were the following fictional languages introduced? 10) Newspeak 11) Nadsat 12) Lapine Literary mash-ups. I give you two authors, you supply the titles of one work by each in which the last word or words of the first form the first word or words of the second. e.g. Mitchell/Grahame would be 'Gone with the Wind in the Willows'. 13) Greene/Easton Ellis 14) Moore/Gray 15) Kerouac/Boyle The last five questions are about books that became songs. Please supply the name of the well known band or solo artiste that recorded the following. Bonus point for the album on which the song first appeared. 16) Rime of the Ancient Mariner 17) Lord of the Flies (two possible answers - one point for each) 18) Tom Sawyer 19) Bell Jar 20) All Quiet on the Western Front -- "To err, as they say, is human. To forgive is divine. To err by withholding your forgiveness until it's too late is to become divinely fucked up." ― Jonathan Tropper, The Book of Joe |
