Tuesday, September 10, 2013 at 1:40PM September 11, 2013 — The third time was, indeed, the charm, as Literary Death Match returned to our Peking home at Bookworm Beijing to put on a fun-stravaganza that ended with the delightful Leslie Ann Murray beating out co-finalist Anthony Tao in a Literary Pictionary finale that ended by a closer-than-it-appears score of 14-2, winning Murray the LDM Beijing, Ep. 3 crown.
Monday, August 30, 2010 at 6:15PM August 31, 2010 — The Literary Death Match's long-awaited (by us) return to China and The Bookworm Beijing was nothing short of masterwork, with the brilliant night finishing with a fake mustache/chopstick/cheap toy/basketball shootout finale that saw One Story representative John Leary claim a 3-1, closer-than-the-scoreboard-suggests victory over co-finalist and Shiva Naipaul prize-winner James Palmer. While the crowd cheered ecstatically, Leary was crowned victor.
Saturday, March 14, 2009 at 2:13PM The first-ever international Literary Death Match, held before a fun and rowdy crowd at The Bookworm in Beijing, China, was a global dream come true, as award-winning Scottish poet Liz Niven outdueled the dynamic Zachary Mexico in a three-tiered competition that finished with Niven scoring the night’s last points on the final challenge: “Gently Rub a Chopstick on Beijing!” Niven, the first international to call herself champion, wore the medal proudly.
