Alan Connor writes non-fiction about quizzes, crosswords, language and the culture that grows around puzzles. *Two Girls, One on Each Knee* examines the history and conventions of the crossword, from early newspaper puzzles to cryptic clueing and the communities that solve them. *The Joy of Quiz* looks at quiz shows, pub quizzes and the oddities of general knowledge, while his writing on language often focuses on why particular words, clues or questions become memorable. Connor’s style is conversational and anecdotal rather than academic, using examples and puzzle history to explain how familiar formats developed. His work fits word games, crossword history, quiz culture and language humour, particularly for readers who enjoy solving as much as reading about the subject. Read more Less
