In 100 Things We’ve Lost to the Internet, Pamela Paul, author and editor of The New York Times Book Review, reflects on what we’ve gained and lost on our collective journey down the information superhighway, as seemingly every single aspect of modern life has been altered by the World Wide Web. Joining Paul is Miami Book Fair 2021 authors Deesha Philyaw, Peter Baker, and Zakiya Dalila Harris, and author and columnist Dave Barry.

Philyaw, Deesha

Buy Book
Deesha Philyaw’s writing on race, parenting, gender, and culture has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, McSweeney’s, and elsewhere. Her debut short story collection, The Secret Lives of Church Ladies (West Virginia University Press), won the 2021 PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and was a finalist for the 2020 National Book Award for Fiction. It explores the raw and tender places where Black women and girls dare to follow their desires and enjoy a momentary reprieve from being good. The nine stories presented feature four generations of characters grappling with who they want to be in the world, caught as they are between the church’s double standards and their own needs and passions. There is 14-year-old Jael, who has a crush on the preacher’s wife; Lyra, whose discomfort with her own body at 42 stands between her and love; and a serial mistress laying down the ground rules for her married lovers. Kirkus celebrated the book as a “collection of luminous stories populated by deeply moving and multifaceted characters. … Tender, fierce, proudly black and beautiful, these stories will sneak inside you and take root.”

Baker, Peter

Buy Book
Peter Baker is the chief White House correspondent for The New York Times, a political analyst for MSNBC, and author of Days of Fire: Bush and Cheney in the White House and The Breach: Inside the Impeachment and Trial of William Jefferson Clinton. The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III (Anchor) – co-written with his wife, Susan Glasser, a staff writer for The New Yorker and a CNN global affairs analyst – is a study in the acquisition, exercise, and preservation of power in late 20th-century America. For 25 years, from the end of Watergate to the aftermath of the Cold War, no Republican won the presidency or ran the White House without the advice of James Addison Baker III. A child of Texas aristocracy, Baker had never worked in Washington until a family tragedy struck when he was 39. Within a few years, he was leading Gerald Ford’s campaign and would go on to manage a total of five presidential races – and win a sixth for George W. Bush in a Florida recount. Ruthlessly partisan during campaign season but an indispensable dealmaker after the election, Baker ran Ronald Reagan’s White House. The Economist called it a “masterclass in political biography.”

She is also the author of “Parenting, Inc.”, “By the Book: Writers on Literature and the Literary Life from The New York Times Book Review,”  “My Life with Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues” and   “How to Raise a Reader,” co-written with Maria Russo..
