There are an amazingly large number of American novels in which drug addicts and/or drug dealers feature as prominent characters and in which drugs and drug use are integral to the novel. If there is not already a PhD dissertation written on the American drug novel, it certainly seems a topic some doctoral candidate in American Literature might chose to exploit. In this quiz you are asked to identify authors and titles of modern American novels in which drugs are an essential component of the work. While preparing questions for this quiz, I realized that most of these drug novels have been adapted into films. Thus, several of the questions include information about film versions of drug novels. The person depicted in the image for this quiz is the correct answer to question 9. If you can't identify the author from his picture, fear not, as you will be given considerable information about him in the question. Sources: Novels from my personal library; Answers.com; Product information about selected novels at Amazon.com, and Wikipedia, the on-line encyclopedia.

I'm not a fan of really long questions, considering there's a time factor.Apparently the editors like this kind of thing, but I think the shorter and more succinct the question... the BETTER THE QUIZ!
