Lineup: Literary Death MatchLiterary Death Match returns to Largo on Tuesday, August 26th! Literary Death Match — called "the most entertaining reading series ever" by the LA Times — features 4 authors reading their own work for 7 minutes or less. They're then judged by 3 all-star judges who respond with hilarious, off-the-wall commentary before choosing 2 finalists to compete in the LDM finale, a vaguely literary game (think Pin the Mustache on Hemingway) to decide the ultimate champion. “Events like Literary Death Match are helping to revitalize the coolitude of the printed word.” — Interview Magazine “Drenched in electric ambience that feels one step away from something you’d see on TV.” — LA Weekly To cool down your summer simmer, Literary Death Match returns to Largo at the Coronet for a wild adventure of literary delight, comedic miracles, madcap antics and pretty much the smartest/best-looking crowd in the history of the planet. That sounds can't-miss, right? It is.
