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: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:Jonathan Evison\, Jess Walter\, Jonathan Ames & Antoine Wilson: 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. \nJonathan Evison’s Small World: A Novel is set against such iconic backdrops as the California gold rush\, the development of the transcontinental railroad\, and a speeding train of modern-day strangers forced together by fate. In exploring their lives and those of their ancestors\, Small World chronicles 170 years of American nation-building from numerous points of view across place and time – and asks whether our nation has made good on its promises. In The Angel of Rome: And Other Stories\, Jess Walter tackles the modern condition in a dazzling range of voices\, backdrops\, and situations. A teenage girl tries to live up to the image of her beautiful\, missing mother. A shy 21-old studying Latin in Rome finds himself face-to-face with the Italian actress of his adolescent dreams. And an elderly couple confronts the writer eavesdropping on their conversation. In Jonathan Ames’ The Wheel of Doll: A Novel\, Happy Doll is a charming if occasionally inexpert private detective. A veteran of both the Navy and LAPD\, he supplements his meager income as a P.I. by working at a local Thai spa that offers “special services.” But he’s out of his depth with one violent patron – and then an old friend from his days as a cop shows up at his door with a bullet in his gut. And in Antoine Wilson’s Mouth to Mouth: A Novel\, our narrator listens as Jeff Cook\, a former classmate\, tells him how his life changed course after he resuscitated a drowning man. Afterward\, Jeff needed to learn more about him – and as he did\, the paths of the two men come together and diverge in dizzying ways\, until the novel’s staggering ending.

SUMMARY:Celeste Mohammed With Tracey Baptiste: A Conversation

For those who live there the reality is very different\, and in Pleasantview: A Novel in Stories\, Trinidadian lawyer-turned-writer Celeste Mohammed reveals a society where poverty and patriarchy savagely rule – and love and revenge often go hand in hand. Writing in a combination of English and Trinidad Creole\, she sets the stories in a fictional town in Trinidad.

Moderating is Tracey Baptiste\,  New York Times bestselling author of Minecraft: The Crash.

SUMMARY:Dan Wakefield on Kurt Vonnegut: The Making of a Writer: Young Adult Fiction
DESCRIPTION:This first and only YA biography of the great American novelist and humanist comes out on the 100th anniversary of his birth. Kurt Vonnegut\, author of Slaughterhouse Five\, Breakfast of Champions\, Cat’s Cradle\, and many other brilliant novels and short stories\, is one of our greatest American writers. Born in 1922\, Vonnegut’s life was full of great fortune and great despair: his family was wealthy\, but lost everything in the market crash of 1929; he was the youngest son in a loving family\, until his mother fell into a depression and committed suicide; he joined the army in WWII with great pride for our country\, but experienced instead a world of destruction and horror. How did he channel the highs and lows of his life into great writing? Dan Wakefield\, a friend and mentee of Vonnegut’s for decades\, distills the facts – including Vonnegut’s novels\, essays\, interviews\, letters\, and personal experiences – into a beautiful telling of the making of a writer. It is as though Wakefield is a friend walking through Vonnegut’s life alongside him\, a guide for readers to his extraordinary life. Here is a burgeoning artist’s life to inspire anyone who has read Vonnegut’s work or who themselves aspire to write. Moderated by Ellen Book\, branch manager with the Miami-Dade Public Library System. Grades 9-12 \nIn partnership with
