Can You Name These Famous Short Stories Based on Their Descriptions?

Welcome to Lit Trivia, the Book Review’s multiple-choice quiz designed to test your knowledge of literature.

The answer section reveals a bit more about the work from articles in the Times archive. After the last question, you’ll find links to the novellas or story collections themselves if you’d like to read (or reread) them.
