This particular edition of Literary Potpourri focuses on American literature. How well do you know your Transcendentalists, Realists and Modernists? Not that well? Do you know which author Abraham Lincoln personally complimented? How about which poet T.S. Eliot felt obligated to praise for his ingenious innovativeness? Do you know which short story Kurt Vonnegut thought was “perfect”? This is your chance to show off a bit, because the opportunity to show off your knowledge of literature (probably) doesn’t present itself all that often.
