Hi,
I'm planning on writing a quiz on the play 'The Physicists' by Friedrich Dürrenmatt. The play is written in German, but the author is Swiss. There isn't a category for Swiss Literature (at least I haven't found one), so should I place it under 'German Literature' as it is written in German?

Thanks,

~*Bee*~

Actually, we would prefer you to put it under Authors - D. Then, if we ever get enough quizzes on the works of this fellow to make a category, it would be linked to Literature by Region, German Literature, and Plays. We try to keep the genre categories for quizzes on mixtures - that is, a quiz on various novels written in German would go into German Lit, whereas as quiz on the works of Goethe would go under "G", with a link to German Lit. This just keeps the works of any one author together, rather than having them spread out all over, depending on how individuals would categorize their works.
