20th/21st Century Lit Packet [~Nats difficulty]
Hi all, I’m planning to read 30 tossups, roughly around ACF Nationals difficulty/length, on 20th/21st century literature this Sunday (3/6) at 5 PM ET in the main Quizbowl Discord. The questions were written by Caroline Mao, myself, Matthew Lehmann, and Vishwa Shanmugam for a side event that we eventually abandoned. Given that we didn’t finish the event, the questions aren’t particularly well-distributed, but expect a healthy amount of whimsy. If there’s sufficient interest in another reading next week, I’d be happy to do so.
