There seemed to be a lot higher concentration of world lit in this tournament than in most other tournaments I've attended this year, and the world literature bonuses in particular seemed to focus a lot on incredibly hard works and authors (I'm thinking of the India bonus and the Orhan Pamuk bonus as the main examples here). I definitely thought that this was a pretty good set, though, so I'd say that one thing to learn for next year is to be a bit more selective with the world literature answers (and maybe reduce the amount of world literature).
