GET LIT (ALL WEEK LONG): Win a copy of Android Karenina

Welcome to Book Quarterly Trivia Week! From now till June 23, we'll be inundating you with opportunities to win free copies of books from our Summer BQ.

I gave AK a shout in this week's Kaleidoscope, and if I were a more selfish person (aka if I hadn't made a promise that I'd give EVERYTHING away), I'd be keeping this one for myself.

Welcome to Book Quarterly Trivia Week! From now till June 23, we'll be inundating you with opportunities to win free copies of books from our Summer BQ.

If you've been paying attention to Critical Mass, you already know about this: Local publishing house Quirk Books has struck literary gold with its series of serious-novels-turned-evil. Says The New York Times of its latest hit, Android Karenina: "Quirk Books has seen the future of the mash-up novel, and it is Leo Tolstoy and robots." I gave AK a shout in this week's Kaleidoscope, and if I were a more selfish person (aka if I hadn't made a promise that I'd give EVERYTHING away), I'd be keeping this one for myself. To win a copy of Android Karenina, answer the following trivia question:

AK co-author Ben H. Winters most recently contributed what monsterpiece to Quirk Classics?

E-mail me at carolyn.huckabay@citypaper.net for a chance to win, and be sure to put "Android Karenina" in the subject line. Check back tomorrow: We'll be giving away copies of Samantha Bee's new memoir, a Phillies tribute book and a foodie novel called The Hundred Foot Journey. [UPDATE, 4:22 p.m.]: Congratulations, CritMass reader Mia D, for answering correctly: Winters most recently co-penned Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters.
