SUMMARY:Sandra Cisneros & Manuel Muñoz: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This program is being livestreamed from MDC’s Wolfson Campus. For more information about this in-person program\, please visit MiamiBookFair.com. \nWoman Without Shame: Poems is Sandra Cisneros’ first book of poetry in 28 years. The collection comprises dozens of never-before-seen poems and includes songs\, elegies\, and declarations that chronicle her pilgrimage toward rebirth and the recognition of her prerogative as a woman artist. These are bluntly honest and often humorous meditations on memory\, desire\, and the essential nature of love. The stories in Manuel Muñoz’s The Consequences are mostly set in the 1980s in the small towns surrounding Fresno. He writes about the Mexican and Mexican American farmworkers who put food on our tables\, their families’ daily struggles\, and their encounters with “la migra\,” the feared agents of immigration enforcement and border patrols. In The Consequences\, obligations can shape us\, support us\, and sometimes derail us. \nWith thanks to associate sponsor

SUMMARY:Sy Montgomery\, Jack E. Davis & Tony Hiss: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This program is being livestreamed from MDC’s Wolfson Campus. For more information about this in-person program\, please visit MiamiBookFair.com. \nIn The Hawk’s Way: Encounters with Fierce Beauty\, Sy Montgomery reveals the wondrous world of these birds and what they can teach us about nature\, life\, and love. These are no pets but fierce predators\, deeply emotional\, quick to anger and frustration\, and capable of holding a grudge for years – but they are also intensely loyal. In The Bald Eagle: The Improbable Journey of America’s Bird\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jack E. Davis takes readers from before the nation’s founding through inconceivable resurgences of an enduring all-American species. It is a cultural and natural history demonstrating how this bird’s wondrous journey may inspire us today as we grapple with environmental peril on a larger scale. And in Rescuing the Planet: Protecting Half the Land to Heal the Earth\, Tony Hiss sets out on a journey to take stock of the “superorganism” that is Earth: its land\, its elements\, its plants and animals\, its most significant threats – and what we can do to keep it\, and ourselves\, alive.

SUMMARY:Billy-Ray Belcourt on A Minor Chorus: A Novel: Fiction
DESCRIPTION:In Billy-Ray Belcourt’s A Minor Chorus: A Novel\, set against the stark expanse of Northern Alberta\, a queer Indigenous doctoral student steps away from his dissertation to write a novel. His work is informed by a series of poignant encounters\, including a heart-to-heart with fellow doctoral student River over the mounting pressure placed on marginalized scholars\, and a meeting with Michael\, a closeted man from his hometown whose vulnerability and loneliness punctuate the realities of queer life on the fringe. Woven throughout these conversations are memories of Jack\, a cousin caught in the cycle of police violence\, drugs\, and survival. Jack’s life parallels the narrator’s own; the possibilities of escape and imprisonment are left to chance with colonialism stacking the odds.

SUMMARY:Robert Samuels\, Toluse Olorunnipa\, Kerri K. Greenidge & Ellis Cose: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:This program is being livestreamed from MDC’s Wolfson Campus. For more information about this in-person program\, please visit MiamiBookFair.com. \nLong before his name became synonymous with civil rights\, George Floyd\, murdered outside of a Minneapolis convenience store by a white police officer\, was a father\, partner\, athlete\, and friend striving for a better life. Deeply researched\, His Name Is George Floyd: One Man’s Life and the Struggle for Racial Justice\, co-written by Toluse Olorunnipa and Robert Samuels\, places Floyd’s narrative within the context of the country’s legacy of institutional racism. In The Grimkes: The Legacy of Slavery in an American Family\, historian Kerri K. Greenidge offers a parallel narrative\, shifting the focus from the white abolitionist sisters Sarah and Angelina Grimke to the Black Grimkes\, descendants of their older brother and one of the women he owned\, Nancy Weston. The Grimkes deepens our understanding of the long struggle for racial and gender equality. And in Race and Reckoning: From Founding Fathers to Today’s Disruptors\, veteran journalist and author Ellis Cose addresses chattel slavery and the New Deal to the COVID pandemic\, exploring how throughout our nation’s history\, racialized pivotal decisions have established and perpetuated discriminatory practices. American politicians have waxed eloquently and endlessly about bettering the nation; Cose asks\, bettering it for whom?

SUMMARY:A VIRTUAL EVENING WITH PICO IYER IN CONVERSATION WITH MICHAEL SHAPIRO
DESCRIPTION:From “one of the most soulful and perceptive writers of our time” (BrainPickings): a journey through competing ideas of paradise to see how we can live more peacefully in an ever more divided and distracted world. \n“Nothing less than a guided tour of the human soul…A masterpiece.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert \nParadise: that elusive place where the anxieties\, struggles\, and burdens of life fall away. Most of us dream of it\, but each of us has very different ideas about where it is to be found. For some it can be enjoyed only after death; for others\, it’s in our midst—or just across the ocean—if only we can find eyes to see it. \nTraveling from Iran to North Korea\, from the Dalai Lama’s Himalayas to the ghostly temples of Japan\, Pico Iyer brings together a lifetime of explorations to upend our ideas of utopia and ask how we might find peace in the midst of difficulty and suffering. Does religion lead us back to Eden or only into constant contention? Why do so many seeming paradises turn into warzones? And does paradise exist only in the afterworld – or can it be found in the here and now? \nFor almost fifty years\, Iyer has been roaming the world\, mixing a global soul’s delight in observing cultures with a pilgrim’s readiness to be transformed. In this culminating work\, he brings together the outer world and the inner to offer us a surprising\, original\, often beautiful exploration of how we might come upon paradise in the midst of our very real lives. \nAbout the Author:\nPico Iyer is the acclaimed and bestselling author of more than a dozen books\, translated into twenty-three languages. His journalism has appeared in Time\, The New York Times\, The New York Review of Books\, the Financial Times\, and more than 250 other periodicals worldwide. His TED talks have been viewed over eleven million times. He divides his time between Japan and a Benedictine hermitage in California. \nAbout the Moderator:\nMichael Shapiro is the author of A Sense of Place — a book of conversations about journeys\, writing and life — with the world’s leading travel writers\, including Pico Iyer\, Frances Mayes\, Paul Theroux\, Jan Morris and Peter Matthiessen. He writes about travel\, music and the environment for National Geographic\, Sierra\, AFAR and other publications. In mid-2022\, Shapiro was awarded a grant from U.C. Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center to examine how travel makes us more open-minded and humble. His most recent book is The Creative Spark (Solas House\, 2019)\, which profiles 32 creative superstars\, including Amy Tan\, Smokey Robinson and Barbara Kingsolver

SUMMARY:Inditoriales Hispanoamericanas: equidistancias y Alicia Dujovne Ortiz
DESCRIPTION:La Feria del Libro de Miami presenta la serie Inditoriales Hispanoamericanas \nEn esta edición: equidistancias\, presenta Andanzas. Trilogía autobiográfica de Alicia Dujovne Ortiz. \nUna conversación con la autora\, el editor Andrés Tacsir y el doctor Pablo Brescia. \nSobre la editorial:\nequidistancias\, fundada por Andrés Tacsir y Enrique Zattara\, se enfoca en escritores y escritoras hispanoamericanos que eligieron vivir en culturas diferentes a la propia o cultivan un fuerte vínculo con la migración.\nequidistancias permite expresarse a aquellos autores que han permanecido excéntricos a los circuitos literarios tradicionales para que sean visualizados tanto en su lugar de origen como en aquellos lugares por los que han circulado.\nCon tres colecciones -narrativa\, poesía y ensayo-\, equidistancias agrupa voces diversas que además de la problemática vital de la experiencia expresan conflictos lingüísticos y discursivos\, mezclas de tradiciones culturales o confluencias que cuestionan y trascienden las supuestas identidades que caracterizan a las literaturas de lengua castellana. \nSobre el libro:\nAndanzas. Trilogía autobiográfica de Alicia Dujovne Ortiz\nRetrato de una vida caracterizada por la escritura\, el nomadismo y la lucha por utopías\, Andanzas es la trilogía autobiográfica de Alicia Dujovne Ortiz que reúne una reelaboración de El árbol de la gitana (1995) y Las perlas rojas (2005) y la presentación de Aguardiente (2022)\, texto inédito. Con buena parte del siglo XX y el inicio del XXI como telón de fondo\, en Andanzas Dujovne Ortiz refleja\, con un estilo singular\, cargado de ironía y sutileza\, pero también con precisión y un gran cuidado estético\, sus constantes y múltiples ejes vitales: vivir en Francia y en Argentina\, tener una madre de la aristocracia criolla\, escritora y feminista\, y un padre judío formado en Moscú como agente de agitación sindical\, escribir biografías\, novelas y poesía y hacer periodismo\, ir del campo a la ciudad. Poblada por imprescindibles personajes de la época y fascinantes personajes imaginarios\, Andanzas va tejiendo la trayectoria familiar que se remonta por siglos en escenarios como la Moldavia rusa\, Génova\, las colonias del Barón Hirsch en Entre Ríos\, unida a su propio itinerario en el porteño barrio de Flores\, la campagne francesa o París.\nProducto de más de veinte años de reflexión y de una escritura poética profundamente argentina\, Andanzas exhibe también una evolución personal que va desde la causa del feminismo y la inquietud ante los dramas sociales hasta nuevas y urgentes preocupaciones como la ecología. Pero\, ante todo\, Andanzas es el testimonio de una mujer libre\, decidida\, valiente y llena de fuerza que es fuente de inspiración para varias generaciones. \nEn colaboración con la editorial equidistancias.

SUMMARY:Almudena Alonso Herrero presenta "Descubriendo galaxias"
DESCRIPTION:La Feria del Libro de Miami presenta una obra original y distinta\, editada por Next Door Publishers\, la primera casa editorial independiente especializada en divulgación científica. \nEn 1878\, el astrónomo Wilhem Tempel lanzó un reto a su colega John Dreyer por medio de una carta al editor de la revista científica The Observatory. Tempel insistía en que la forma observada en algunas nebulosas –hoy sabemos que son galaxias– no era espiral como defendía la mayoría de los astrónomos de la época. \nLo que en este momento resolveríamos fácilmente observando alguna de las hermosas imágenes del telescopio Hubble\, o más recientemente del James Webb\, era imposible a mediados del siglo XIX. Para poder plasmar la forma de las nebulosas\, la única solución era dibujarlas durante una o varias noches de observación. \n¿Cómo se resolvió la controversia? ¿Qué papel jugaron los grandes telescopios como el Leviatán o el “telescopio español” del Real Observatorio de Madrid? \nEl libro se puede adquirir en este enlace: DESCUBRIENDO GALAXIAS – ALMUDENA ALONSO HERRERO – 9788412565966 \n\nEn colaboración con Next Door Publishers. \n \nPRESENTAN:\nAlmudena Alonso Herrero es doctora en Ciencias Físicas por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Ha trabajado en las Universidades de Oxford\, Arizona y Hertfordshire. En la actualidad es Investigadora Científica del CSIC en el Centro de Astrobiología en Madrid. Investiga la evolución de galaxias así como el material que alimenta los agujeros negros super-masivos y que da lugar a fenómenos energéticos como los cuásares y galaxias activas. \nEs Fellow de la Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS) y miembro de la European Astronomical Society (EAS)\, la International Astronomical Union (IAU)\, la Sociedad Española de Astronomía (SEA) y\, desde el 26 de octubre de 2022\, de la Real Academia de Ciencias (RAC). \nOihan Iturbide es biólogo clínico\, máster en Bioética y en Comunicación Científica\, director de los sellos editoriales Next Door Publishers y Yonki Books\, y colaborador habitual en distintos medios de comunicación como El País\, Radio Euskadi\, etc. Por otro lado\, forma parte del colectivo Naukas\, la plataforma más relevante de divulgación científica en España\, y está al frente de la Fundación María Aranzadi\, una entidad que crea\, junto a su familia\, hace 15 años para divulgar sobre el impacto de las adicciones en la salud.

SUMMARY:Carlos Alberto Montaner Homenaje
DESCRIPTION:La Feria del Libro de Miami del Miami Dade College concede su Reconocimiento a la Trayectoria al periodista y escritor cubano Carlos Alberto Montaner\, quien ha contribuido de manera formidable a la vida política y cultural de nuestra ciudad y de toda Iberoamérica. \n   \n\n  \nPalabras para el Miami Book Fair 2022\nCarlos Alberto Montaner\n  \nLa Feria del Libro ha comenzado en Miami. Estoy de acuerdo con la doctora Madelaine Pumariega\, presidente del Miami Dade College\, institución que anualmente acoge la Feria: se trata de uno de los mayores eventos literarios de los Estados Unidos.\n  \nEso le concede prestigio a la ciudad de Miami. La hace parecer como lo que realmente es: una ciudad cosmopolita\, bilingüe\, compleja e interesante. Me fui en 1966 rumbo a Puerto Rico. Entonces los “hispanos”\, casi todos cubanos\, ocupaban un espacio reducido y poco importante de la ciudad. Le llamábamos “el gueto”. En 1970 me marché a España. Viví con mi mujer y mis hijos 40 años en Madrid\, hasta que en 2010 regresé a Miami\, invitado por CNNE (en español)\, bajo la presidencia de Cynthia Hudson –una notable cubana agazapada tras un nombre gringo – y la vicepresidencia de Eduardo Suárez.\n  \nEn ese periodo se había producido la prodigiosa transformación de Miami. Es verdad que USA se había convertido en otra cosa\, y cien ciudades eran mucho más poderosas y desarrolladas que antes del cambio prodigioso\, pero Miami adquirió su relevante perfil de ciudad con doble mainstream\, del cual son responsables los cubanos\, los venezolanos\, los nicaragüenses\, los colombianos\, los españoles transterrados\, y los argentinos\, entre otros latinoamericanos.\n  \nLa huella culinaria está por todas partes y ha entrado\, con buen pie\, en la dieta habitual de los Wasp. Se advierte desde el aeropuerto\, donde he visto pedir dos “churrascos con chimichurri” a una pareja inocente de haber estado en Buenos Aires. La buena arquitectura\, también. No sólo en Arquitectónica\, una notable empresa que ha sumado el buen gusto de diversos latinoamericanos\, en la calle Brickell\, sino en Miami Beach y en Coral Gables. En 1966\, cuando me fui a Puerto Rico\, Coral Gables estaba off limitsde cualquier cubano con ingresos promedio. Cuando regresé\, no sólo el 50% era hispano\, sino el eficaz alcalde ¡era cubano!: Raúl Valdés-Fauli. Le siguió el hijo del médico Vicente Lago: Vince C. Lago.\n  \nNinguna ciudad en EE.UU. posee esta característica: dos corrientes centrales de prosperidad\, progreso y desarrollo. En Los Ángeles o en Houston\, donde abundan los hispanos\, es diferente. La clave está en el idioma nativo. Sólo conozco otros dos casos\, más o menos\, similares: el de Tesalónica\, en Grecia\, poblada por los sefardíes\, durante el siglo XIX\, cuando allí mandaban los turcos\, y el de Praga\, con la minoría alemana (suele olvidarse que Franz Kafka era un checo que escribía ficción en alemán). Ambos casos desaparecieron en medio del devastador incendio que fue la Segunda Guerra Mundial.\n  \nAl MDC se le ha escapado\, milagrosamente\, el Festival Internacional de Teatro Hispano de Miami. Ya va por la 36 entrega. Lo dirige Mario Ernesto Sánchez\, un avezado hombre de teatro que lo mismo elige lo que se pondrá en escena\, que dirige acertadamente a los actores y actrices\, que es capaz de actuar con eficacia si se requiere. Los teatristas  actuales darían lo que no tienen por ser invitados al 37 Festival. Ya se sabe que el teatro está en crisis desde la época de Plauto.\n  \nUna multitud de cantantes en español\, con todos los acentos posibles\, periódicamente llenan los estadios. Entre ellos\, el puertorriqueño Ricky Martin\, el colombiano Juanes\, el dominicano Juan Luis Guerra\, o los españoles Raphael\, Joan Manuel Serrat\, Paloma San Basilio  y Joaquín Sabina. Existe un festival de cine internacional\, especialmente importante\, auspiciado también por el MDC\, que fue un proyecto notable del anterior presidente Eduardo Padrón\, ya jubilado\, que tuvo como leitimotiv acercar a la universidad a los problemas más urgentes\, y viceversa\, como sucede con la literatura y el cine.\n  \nPor mi parte\, sólo siento una inmensa gratitud para la Feria del Libro de Miami y por Mariela Gal que siempre me han apoyado. Ahora\, nuevamente instalado en Madrid\, estoy escribiendo una novela sobre Paul Lafargue y Laura Marx. Paul\, de origen cubano\, era un pre-adolescente cuando llegó a Francia. Años después conoció a Laura\, una de las tres hijas de Marx. La mayor murió de cáncer y las dos hijas\, la mediana y la pequeña\, aparentemente se suicidaron. No obstante\, mi tesis es que Lafargue le quitó la vida a Laura y luego se suicidó. Estoy elaborando el relato de esa relación con el trasfondo de la Belle Epoque. Para mí sería un honor que se llegara a presentar mi novela en la Feria del Libro de Miami.
