Identify the following people as Dead or Alive. Then take a guess at the theme—four words in my notes, although it could have been two if I wasn’t so nitpicky with myself.
1. Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Dead
2. Theodore Dreiser Dead
3. Newton B. Tarkington Dead
4. General Lewis Wallace Dead
5. Jessamyn White My mistake – the author’s name is Jessamyn WEST. Not sure how that got transposed between one screen and another, but everyone got credit for this one.
6. George Ade Dead
7. Norman Bridwell Alive
8. James W. Riley Dead
9. James A. Thom Alive
10. Rex Stout Dead
Theme: Authors born in Indiana
