THE GREAT NEW ZEALAND LIT QUIZ

 

COMING SOON! THE GREAT NEW ZEALAND LIT QUIZ

 

Recognise which past New Zealand Book Awards-winning novel has the opening line: “He walks down the street. The asphalt reels by him.”? Know your Stead from your Smither, your Ihimaera from your Manhire? The Auckland Writers Festival’s first Great NZ Lit Quiz celebrates the 50th anniversary of our very own national book awards. Gather your team together and get ready for a great night out.

 

 

“We’ve designed the lit quiz to end all lit quizzes, traversing the rich and varied terrain of Aotearoa’s writerly landscape in a series of quick and quirky questions.” –  The masterful AWF programming team

 

Supported by the New Zealand Book Awards Trust and hosted by Te Radar, the quiz includes six rounds about local literature and writers, with spot prizes between rounds for answers to questions relating directly to past book awards winners. The Quiz takes place on Friday 18 May, 8.45pm in the Heartland Festival Room, Aotea Square. Find out more about the event, and how to sign up your team, here.
