Abstemiously was the word that occurred to me; obviously facetiously is good. I had no idea there were only two--or are there more?

Well, I always liked the green and blue ones in trivial pursuit so LITERATURE!
Amos Oz just won the Franz Kafka Prize. Name all the other winners of the prize (1 point each for a total of 12 available points). Last edited by HomeInMyShoes; 05-28-2013 at 03:30 PM. |

Hmm...maybe I should remove the link, but people need to be informed and anyone reading the literature news these days probably knows them already.

It was a difficult quiz as the Kafka Prize doesn't hit the media prominently. Possibly because only 3 write in English and some have not been translated. And since it is sponsored by the City of Prague it is no surprise that 4 of the 13 winners have been Czech.
But, please, continue to post answers. Show off your intellect |
