No,
we’re not talking about the return of the Twinkie, though that’s great news,
too. We’re talking about Literary Death Match, the series of bookish bloodsport
title bouts that we began hosting last year to great acclaim and not a little
controversy (see here, here & here.)
We
haven’t been able to say why we halted the matches until now, but we’re proud
to announce this morning that a Federal Judge has thrown out the case brought by the North
American Broadcasters Association on behalf of our intrepid ringside reporter,
Kelly Wallace. Kelly was never a party to these vexatious proceedings, and she
joins me and the rest of our production staff in celebrating this welcome
victory.
Our
first match will pick up where we left off, with dramatic works by Fitzgerald
and Hemingway duking it out for Best Play by a Lost Generation Novelist. Look
for it sometime in the next few weeks. Tickets will go fast!
