Here is the B&B Eventbrite link to purchase: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/violeta-a-virtual-evening-with-isabel-allende-tickets-229050986667 \nMiami Book Fair and Books & Books are excited to partner with indies across the country for this special conversation with Isabel Allende for her newest book\, Violeta! \nTickets are bundled with the book (+tax/fee) and the purchase of a ticket admits (1) one person into the virtual event and includes (1) one copy of the novel\, Violeta (Ballantine Books\, $28 + tax and fee). Please note: Violeta is available in English (only) for this event. A fee of $6 is included for U.S. domestic shipping of the book.\nOnce you make your purchase\, we will send you a Zoom registration link (24 hours BEFORE)that will give you access to the event via private link. \nAbout the Book:\nThis sweeping novel from the New York Times bestselling author of A Long Petal of the Sea tells the epic story of Violeta Del Valle\, a woman whose life spans one hundred years and bears witness to the greatest upheavals of the twentieth century. \nVioleta comes into the world on a stormy day in 1920\, the first girl in a family with five boisterous sons. From the start\, her life is marked by extraordinary events\, for the ripples of the Great War are still being felt\, even as the Spanish flu arrives on the shores of her South American homeland almost at the moment of her birth. \nThrough her father’s prescience\, the family will come through that crisis unscathed\, only to face a new one as the Great Depression transforms the genteel city life she has known. Her family loses everything and is forced to retreat to a wild and beautiful but remote part of the country. There\, she will come of age\, and her first suitor will come calling. \nShe tells her story in the form of a letter to someone she loves above all others\, recounting times of devastating heartbreak and passionate affairs\, poverty and wealth\, terrible loss and immense joy. Her life is shaped by some of the most important events of history: the fight for women’s rights\, the rise and fall of tyrants\, and ultimately not one\, but two pandemics. \nThrough the eyes of a woman whose unforgettable passion\, determination\, and sense of humor carry her through a lifetime of upheaval\, Isabel Allende once more brings us an epic that is both fiercely inspiring and deeply emotional.

SUMMARY:Homenaje a José Martí con Rosa Leonor Whitmarsh
DESCRIPTION:José Martí y Pérez\, Apóstol de la Independencia de Cuba\, vivió apenas cuarenta y dos años. Logró\, durante ese tiempo\, objetivos que la razón no puede explicar: su extensa obra literaria y la dedicada a fundar la República de Cuba exigieron de él un gran esfuerzo físico e intelectual. Su vida nos hace pensar en factores que solo se dan en seres fuera de lo común. La charla explica\, siguiendo la cronología del gran escritor y patriota cubano\, que el “tiempo martiano” tiene dimensiones “tangibles e intangibles”. \nEn colaboración con Imago Art in Action.

SUMMARY:The World’s Lightest Motorcycle: A Virtual Evening with Korean poet Yi Won and Translators E. J. Koh and Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello
DESCRIPTION:Yi Won confronts a wired\, technological world\, often in the mirror\, in these inventive\, daring and subversive poems. A successor to Korean feminist poets like Kim Hyesoon\, Yi Won frequently writes about the perilousness of maintaining one’s human identity in a high-tech\, digital environment. In this debut book in English\, her poems range from avant-garde prose poems to more lyrical (if dark) free verse\, as she examines isolation\, loneliness\, death\, and the passage of time — and in the process\, upends polite society and Korean literary culture. \nYi Won is one of the most fascinating and exciting poets to emerge after the oppressive decades of South Korea’s military dictatorship. Her renowned and influential predecessor\, Kim Hyesoon\, notes that “young Korean women poets are developing a terrain of poetry that is combative\, visceral\, subversive\, inventive\, and ontologically feminine.” Yi Won’s highly inventive poetry creates a new surreal terrain in which bodies and everyday objects\, capitalist commodities\, exist side by side and interact\, often violently. E. J. Koh and Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello\, two brilliant Korean American poets\, have invented astonishing language for Yi Won’s subversive poetry.  —Don Mee Choi\, 2021 MacArthur Fellow and National Book Award winning author of DMZ Colony

SUMMARY:An Evening With Anne Rice & Victoria Wilson: On Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles
DESCRIPTION:There are many bestselling authors\, but few can legitimately claim that they reinvented a literary genre. By blending the supernatural with the gothic\, Anne Rice’s first novel\, Interview with the Vampire\, did just that. The ensuing Vampire Chronicles series created both a cult following and great mainstream success. Rice was the author of more than 40 books\, ranging in topics and genres from religion to erotica. Collectively\, her books have sold more than 100 million copies\, which made her one of the most widely read authors in modern history. In Prince Lestat: The Vampire Chronicles – which here Rice is discussing with her editor\, Victoria Wilson\, at Miami Book Fair 2014 – she once again summoned the irresistible spirit-world of the undead\, including the dazzling\, dangerous rebel-outlaw and the great hope of the undead: Prince Lestat.

SUMMARY:Brendan Kiely Presents The Other Talk: Reckoning with Our White Privilege
DESCRIPTION:Talking about racism can be hard\, but … \nMost kids of color grow up talking about racism. They have “The Talk” with their families – the honest talk about survival in a racist world. \nBut white kids don’t. They’re barely spoken to about race at all – and that needs to change. Because not talking about racism doesn’t make it go away. Not talking about white privilege doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. \nBrendan Kiely’s The Other Talk: Reckoning with Our White Privilege begins this much-needed conversation for white kids. In an instantly relatable and deeply honest account of his own life\, Brendan Kiely offers young readers a way to understand one’s own white privilege and why allyship is so vital\, so that we can all start doing our part – today. Joining are Brian Knowles and Lisa Seymour\, School District of Palm Beach County. \nGrades 9 – 12
