Name That Author!: August 23, 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.

You can submit your guess using the form below after any clue, but if you’re wrong, you’re out for the week. So you’ve got to pick your spot. Too early and you might be wrong; wait until you’re sure, and you might get scooped.

**Be warned: if you Tweet your guess or leave a comment with your guess, you’re not only disqualified for this week, but for the rest of the month.**

Here we go:

1. I was asked to leave school after I deemed one sacrament “spontaneous combustion.”

2. I wrote a poem about my favorite beverage.

3. My left-leaning political activities got me into some hot water during the mid-20th century.

4. My epitaph is “Excuse my dust.”
