 ng>Literary Death Match</strong>\, co-created by Adrian Todd Zuniga\, marr
 ies the literary and performative aspects of <em>Def Poetry Jam</em>\, rap
 ier-witted quips of <em>American Idol</em>’s judging (without any meanness
 )\, and the ridiculousness and hilarity of <em>Double Dare</em>.</p>\n<p>E
 ach episode of this competitive\, humor-centric reading series features a 
 thrilling mix of four famous and emerging authors (all representing a lite
 rary publication\, press or concern — online\, in print or live) who perfo
 rm their most electric writing in seven minutes or less before a lively au
 dience and a panel of three all-star judges. After each pair of readings\,
  the judges — focused on literary merit\, performance and intangibles — ta
 ke turns spouting hilarious\, off-the-wall commentary about each story\, t
 hen select their favorite to advance to the finals.<br />\nThe two finalis
 ts then compete in the Literary Death Match finale\, which trades in the s
 how’s literary sensibility for an absurd and comical climax to determine w
 ho takes home the Literary Death Match crown.<br />\nIt may sound like a c
 ircus — and that’s half the point. Literary Death Match is passionate abou
 t inspecting new and innovative ways to present text off the page\, and th
 e most fascinating part about the LDM is how seriously attentive the audie
 nce is during each reading. We’ve called this the great literary ruse: an 
 audacious and inviting title\, a harebrained finale\, but in-between the j
 udging creates a relationship with the viewer as a judge themselves.<br />
 \nOur ultimate goal is to perform the Literary Death Match all over the wo
 rld\, and to continue to showcase literature as a brilliant\, unstoppable 
 medium.</p>\n<p>Tuesday’s brilliant foursome of authors — who will read th
 eir own work for seven minutes or less — includes <a href='http://www.ricr
