Name That Author!: The Answer for May 17, 2012

Welcome to Name That Author!, a literary trivia game. We start by giving you a requirement, and you name authors who fit that requirement. When there's a prize at stake, randomly selected participants who submit correct answers win.

Time to reveal the answer for last week’s Name That Author!. But first, recap of the clues:

1. You might be surprised to learn that my most famous work is considered a comedy.

2. Though I was exiled from my hometown, eventually they wanted me back…500 years later.

3. I first met the love of my life at nine years old….and only ever saw here once again after that meeting, or so I said.

4. It was somewhat controversial that I wrote in Italian, even though I was myself Italian. 

5. I crawled through Satan’s groin and discovered it was surprisingly cold. 

 

Ready for the answer: Here you go.
