96% Of Americans Can't Name These 23 Foreign Books

Missed #14. I have read most of the others.

17 = I wait for the movie to come out.

Jacqueline Tattam, None of these authors are American. I suspect the quiz may have been an American, but given the variety of authors, most of these authors are foreigners to someone/everyone. 1. Stieg Larsson is Swedish, 2. Yann Martel is Canadian, 3 & 22 Gabriel García Márquez is Colombian 4. Albert Camus was French 5. Khaled Hosseini was born in Afghanistan, 6. Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra was Spanish, 7. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was French, 8. Jules Verne was French, 9. Milan Kundera is Czech, 10. Daniel Defoe was English, 11. Anne Frank was German/Dutch 12. Haruki Murakami is Japanese, 13 & 23 Fyodor Dostoevsky was Russian, 14. Carlos Ruiz Zafón was Spanish, 15. Markus Zusak is Australian, 16. Oscar Wilde was Irish, 17. Mikhail Bulgakov was Russian, 18 & 21. Leo Tolstoy was Russian, 19, Alexandre Dumas was French, 20. Gustave Flaubert was French.

Liz Freeland, Reduce the font size on your phone or whatever device you use to view these quizzes. It is your own settings that are troubling you.

Nancy Chisholm, None of these books were written by American authors. What's your point?

shirleyj, None of these books were written by American authors. What's your point?

Sybilla, I don't understand your point about the differences between British and American English or why you brought it up since Oscar Wilde was Irish. BTW, Gray is a last name and does not refer to the color/colour grey (British spelling).

Berkley Folks, Why would that matter. NONE of these books were written by American authors.

20 / 23. Slipped up on 3!

22. I've read most of them

Australian here hadnt heard of 2 of those

Aced it; but not American!!

Interesting and fun quiz. I find it amusing to have classic English novels referred to as “foreign”
