Quiz Answers

Thanks for all those who had written. Unfortunately no one seems to have cracked it. As I had mentioned I guess it was a bit obscure. It was not related to paintings at all.

Firstly, as a few had written, the most evident thing amongst the paintings is the Enigma of Arrival - which has been used as a title for book. This perhaps is one answer, the simplest one.

I suppose if you have bought or seen enough penguin covers the answers become, rather plain. So here we go, in the order of the paintings :



1. Gabriel Garcia Marquez - One Hundred Years of Solitude.



2. The Wasteland and other poems- TS Eliot



3. The Enigma of Arrival - VS Naipaul


4. Nausea - Jean Paul Sartre
5. Selected Poems - JL Borges

6. Kim - Rudyard Kipling


So there. Must be easier now. One another possible answer is all the books are penguins while The Enigma of Arrival is Picador. But the answer I was looking for was JL Borges, Selected Poems featuring Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. Borges missed out on the Nobel while the rest were bestowed the honour.
