Lit Pub Quiz (Vol 6, Ed 2) with Claire Jimenez

With Friends Literature Wine Spirits Beer Bar Trivia & Games

What’s Happening?

Pageturners Lit Pub Quiz features 20 questions in four categories in the traditional format, plus a final question when accrued points can be wagered. Teams of 1-4 are invited to compete for this month's title. Prizes will be provided by partners the Bookworm and Lola's!

Our special guest for February is Claire Jimenez! A PhD student at UNL, Claire will read from her new book, "Staten Island: Stories." New York City's Staten Island is often described as the forgotten borough. But with Staten Island Stories, Jimenez shines a spotlight on the imagined lives of the islanders. Inspired by Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, this collection of loosely linked tragicomic short stories travels across time to explore defining moments in the island's history, from the 2003 Staten Island Ferry crash and the New York City blackout to the growing opioid and heroin crisis, Eric Garner's murder, and the 2016 presidential election.

In February, the people's choice category will be "TBA” as chosen by last month's second place team.

We hope to see you there!
