A sure-fire sell-out with an all-star cast! Literary Death Match is a game show featuring lively readings from four intrepid writers who attempt to dazzle a legendary trio of judges—Cory Doctorow, Emma Donoghue, and Andrew Phung—in three categories: literary merit, performance, and intangibles (what falls in that final category, you ask? You’ll know it when you hear it!). Host Adrian Todd Zuniga, perennially on the Wordfest best-dressed list, will bring the literary laughs and surprises in his seventh return to the festival.
