Catfishing is a guessing game built from Wikipedia articles. Given a list of all the categories that an article belongs to, you must guess which article it's describing.

(Beware: Some of these questions are very out of date! The game used to be live but stopped being able to connect to Wikipedia after an API change in 2009.)

Here's your first one:

American novelistsPeople known by pseudonymsMissouri writers
Banned writersAmerican satiristsAmerican vegetarians
