Well, I'm up since sylanb is too busy to play silly games for a while. I really thought about my mystery author for a while and came up with a doozie. Tipu will probably turn out to be his biggest fan with my luck, hehe.

Clue: He's not American.

Is the author alive?
Were the majority of the author's works fiction?

Is the author male?

Did he/she win any major literary awards?

Is he/she primarily a genre writer?

No, the author was murdered in 1975.

I'd say that's a tossup. He wrote A LOT of very different things.

I'm sorry Jan. Would you like me to delete my answer and let everyone else have a go at it?

Only if you guessed by nefarious means. Tell me, how did you guess from my two answers??

Jan bowing to psychic Lynne

A requirement in the general studies curiculum is a course in humanities. My choice just happened to be Humanities through the Arts.

Ok y'all let me think a minute before posting an author.
