'''MASSOLIT''' is a (college) regular difficulty literature side event written and edited by [[Noah Prince]]. It was played online in May 2017 in both singles ([https://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/4416/ stats]) and doubles ([https://hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/4417/ stats])) formats.

The set consisted of 10 packets of 20 tossups each with a few extras and can be found on [https://collegiate.quizbowlpackets.com/1977/ QuizbowlPackets].

== Style ==

As he mentioned in [https://hsquizbowl.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=19424 the forums announcement], Prince was inspired to write a literature-only event after playing [[Schindler's Lit]] at the 2013 HSNCT. Production began in spring of 2014 and continued until spring of 2017.

The question distribution was mostly standard, including a question in long prose, short prose, poetry, and plays from American, British, European, and World traditions in each packet. The remaining 4 questions each round were filled out by more American content along with 1 non-fiction and 1 "not quite canonical".

The primary reason the set took 3 years to produce was that Prince read every work mentioned in the set during the writing process.
