SUMMARY:Desiree Cooper on Nothing Special: Picture Book
DESCRIPTION:Six-year-old Jax can’t wait to leave Detroit and spend a week with his grandparents in coastal Virginia\, where he’s sure he’ll be spoiled with the kinds of special things he enjoys at home: toys\, movies\, and hamburgers. As he dreams of the adventures he’ll have\, his PopPop has other ideas. He fills their days with timeless summer fun – crabbing\, shucking corn\, and counting fireflies. Illustrated entirely of repurposed textiles\, Nothing Special by Desiree Cooper celebrates the enduring connection between the generations who stayed in the South and the millions of emigrants for whom it will always be home. Between 1910 and 1970\, more than 6 million African Americans left the Jim Crow South\, but they never forgot the culture\, the land\, and the family they left behind. In the decades since\, it has become a summer ritual for many Black families to reverse the journey and return South for a visit to their homeplaces. Introduction by the Miami Mom Collective. Grades PreK-2 \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:2021 National Poetry Series Winner Su Cho
DESCRIPTION:The National Poetry Series was established in 1978 to recognize and promote excellence in contemporary poetry by ensuring the publication of five books of poetry annually through participating publishers. In addition\, the National Poetry Series has partnered with Miami Book Fair to award the Paz Prize in Poetry\, which ensures bilingual publication for a book of poems written in Spanish. This conversation features Su Cho on The Symmetry of Fish\, speaking with the judge who selected her manuscript\, Paige Lewis\, Space Struck. Language and lore are at the core of The Symmetry of Fish\, a moving debut about coming-of-age in the middle of nowhere. With striking and tender insight\, it seeks to give voice to those who have been denied their stories\, and examines the way phrases and narratives are passed down through immigrant families – not diluted over time\, but distilled into potency over generations. In this way\, a family’s language is not lost but continuously remade\, hitched to new associations\, and capable of blooming anew\, with the power to cut across space and time to unearth buried memories. With a special introduction by Daniel Halpern\, founder of HarperCollins imprint Ecco and the National Poetry Series. \nIn partnership with

SUMMARY:U.S. Poet Laureate Ada Limón & Robert Casper: A Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Ada Limón returns to the Miami Book Fair to celebrate her new appointment as the 24th U.S. Poet Laureate and The Hurting Kind\, an astonishing collection about interconnectedness between the human and nonhuman\, ancestors and ourselves. What does it mean to be the hurting kind? To be sensitive not only to the world’s pain and joys\, but to the meanings that bend in the scrim between the natural world and the human world? To divine the relationships between us all? To perceive ourselves in other beings – and to know that those beings are resolutely their own\, that they “do not / care to be seen as symbols”? With Limón’s remarkable ability to trace thought\, The Hurting Kind explores those questions – incorporating others’ stories and ways of knowing\, making surprising turns\, and always reaching a place of startling insight. Presented in partnership with the Library of Congress and O\, Miami; moderated by Robert Casper\, head of Poetry and Literature at the Library of Congress. \nPresented in partnership with \nSponsored by  \n\nFunding for this program was provided through a grant from Florida Humanities with funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:2022 Big Read Keynote Address: Thi Bui\, author of The Best We Could Do in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author\, Viet Thanh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:RSVP here for keynote \n“I began to record our family history…thinking that if I bridged the gap between the past and the present\, I could fill the void between my parents and me.”\n—Thi Bui in The Best We Could Do \nJoin us for a virtual talk and Q&A with this year’s Big Read featured author\, Thi Bui as she discusses this award-winning graphic memoir.  \nBefore she began to work on The Best We Could Do in 2005\, Thi Bui had never drawn a comic in her life. Twelve years later\, the debut graphic memoir would be released to widespread acclaim from critics and literary heavyweights alike. An American Book Award winner\, a National Book Critics Circle finalist in autobiography\, and an Eisner Award finalist in reality-based comics\, Bui’s memoir traces her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s and their effort to build new lives for themselves in America.

SUMMARY:THE TRAYVON GENERATION: A VIRTUAL EVENING WITH ELIZABETH ALEXANDER
DESCRIPTION:Books & Books\, Miami Book Fair and Independent Bookstores across the U.S. present… A Virtual Evening with ELIZABETH ALEXANDER on The Trayvon Generation \n*Named one of TIME magazine’s Most Anticipated Titles of 2022* \nFrom a Pulitzer Prize finalist and New York Times bestselling author and poet comes a galvanizing meditation on the power of art and culture to illuminate America’s unresolved problem with race. \nIn the midst of civil unrest in the summer of 2020 and following the murders of George Floyd\, Breonna Taylor\, and Ahmaud Arbery\, Elizabeth Alexander—one of the great literary voices of our time—turned a mother’s eye to her sons’ and students’ generation and wrote a celebrated and moving reflection on the challenges facing young Black America. Originally published in the New Yorker\, the essay incisively and lovingly observed the experiences\, attitudes\, and cultural expressions of what she referred to as the Trayvon Generation\, who even as children could not be shielded from the brutality that has affected the lives of so many Black people. \nThe Trayvon Generation expands the viral essay that spoke so resonantly to the persistence of race as an ongoing issue at the center of the American experience. Alexander looks both to our past and our future with profound insight\, brilliant analysis\, and mighty heart\, interweaving her voice with groundbreaking works of art by some of our most extraordinary artists. At this crucial time in American history when we reckon with who we are as a nation and how we move forward\, Alexander’s lyrical prose gives us perspective informed by historical understanding\, her lifelong devotion to education\, and an intimate grasp of the visioning power of art. \nThis breathtaking book is essential reading and an expression of both the tragedies and hopes for the young people of this era that is sure to be embraced by those who are leading the movement for change and anyone rising to meet the moment. \n

SUMMARY:READ DANGEROUSLY: A VIRTUAL EVENING WITH AZAR NAFISI & JACKI LYDEN
DESCRIPTION:Books & Books\, Miami Book Fair and Independent Bookstores across the U.S. present… A Virtual Evening with AZAR NAFISI IN CONVERSATION WITH JACKI LYDEN on Read Dangerously: The Subversive Power of Literature in Troubled Times \nThe New York Times bestselling author of Reading Lolita in Tehran returns with a guide to the power of literature in turbulent times\, arming readers with a resistance reading list\, ranging from James Baldwin to Zora Neale Hurston to Margaret Atwood. \n“[A] stunning look at the power of reading. … Provokes and inspires at every turn.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) \nWhat is the role of literature in an era when one political party wages continual war on writers and the press? What is the connection between political strife in our daily lives\, and the way we meet our enemies on the page in fiction? How can literature\, through its free exchange\, affect politics? \nIn this galvanizing guide to literature as resistance\, Nafisi seeks to answer these questions. Drawing on her experiences as a woman and voracious reader living in the Islamic Republic of Iran\, her life as an immigrant in the United States\, and her role as literature professor in both countries\, she crafts an argument for why\, in a genuine democracy\, we must engage with the enemy\, and how literature can be a vehicle for doing so. \nStructured as a series of letters to her father\, who taught her as a child about how literature can rescue us in times of trauma\, Nafisi explores the most probing questions of our time through the works of Toni Morrison\, Salman Rushdie\, James Baldwin\, Margaret Atwood\, and more.

SUMMARY:Emotional Inheritance: A Virtual Afternoon with Galit Atlas and Dani Shapiro
DESCRIPTION:Books & Books\, Miami Book Fair and independent bookstores across the country present…\nA Virtual Afternoon with DR. GALIT ATLAS in conversation with Dani Shapiro on Emotional Inheritance : A Therapist\, Her Patients\, and the Legacy of Trauma \nTickets are bundled with the book (+tax/fee) or available for free.\nOnce you make your purchase or register for the event\, we will send you an event link (24 hours BEFORE) that will give you access to the talk via private link. \nAbout the Book:\nAward-winning psychoanalyst Dr. Galit Atlas draws on her patients’ stories—and her own life experiences—to shed light on how generational trauma affects our lives; “intimate\, textured\, compassionate” (Jon Kabat-Zinn\, author of The Healing Power of Mindfulness). \nThe people we love and those who raised us live inside us; we experience their emotional pain\, we dream their memories\, and these things shape our lives in ways we don’t always recognize. Emotional Inheritance is about family secrets that keep us from living to our full potential\, create gaps between what we want for ourselves and what we are able to have\, and haunt us like ghosts. \nIn this transformative book\, Galit Atlas entwines the stories of her patients\, her own stories\, and decades of research to help us identify the links between our life struggles and the “emotional inheritance” we all carry. For it is only by following the traces those ghosts leave that we can truly change our destiny.

SUMMARY:COLORIZATION: A VIRTUAL EVENING WITH WIL HAYGOOD AND APRIL DOBBINS
DESCRIPTION:Join Wil Haygood in conversation with April Dobbins as they discuss 100 years Black cinema history. \nBooks & Books\, Coral Gables Art Cinema and Miami Book Fair present… A VIRTUAL EVENING WITH WIL HAYGOOD\nin conversation with April Dobbins\, Programming Director at Coral Gables Art Cinema\non Colorization: One Hundred Years of Black Films in a White World \nA NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS’ TOP BOOK OF THE YEAR • BOOKLISTS’ EDITOR’S CHOICE • ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR \n“At once a film book\, a history book\, and a civil rights book.… Without a doubt\, not only the very best film book [but] also one of the best books of the year in any genre. An absolutely essential read.” —Shondaland \nThis unprecedented history of Black cinema examines 100 years of Black movies—from Gone with the Wind to Blaxploitation films to Black Panther—using the struggles and triumphs of the artists\, and the films themselves\, as a prism to explore Black culture\, civil rights\, and racism in America. From the acclaimed author of The Butler and Showdown. \nBeginning in 1915 with D. W. Griffith’s The Birth of a Nation—which glorified the Ku Klux Klan and became Hollywood’s first blockbuster—Wil Haygood gives us an incisive\, fascinating\, little-known history\, spanning more than a century\, of Black artists in the film business\, on-screen and behind the scenes. \nHe makes clear the effects of changing social realities and events on the business of making movies and on what was represented on the screen: from Jim Crow and segregation to white flight and interracial relationships\, from the assassination of Malcolm X\, to the O. J. Simpson trial\, to the Black Lives Matter movement. He considers the films themselves—including Imitation of Life\, Gone with the Wind\, Porgy and Bess\, the Blaxploitation films of the seventies\, Do The Right Thing\, 12 Years a Slave\, and Black Panther. And he brings to new light the careers and significance of a wide range of historic and contemporary figures: Hattie McDaniel\, Sidney Poitier\, Berry Gordy\, Alex Haley\, Spike Lee\, Billy Dee Willliams\, Richard Pryor\, Halle Berry\, Ava DuVernay\, and Jordan Peele\, among many others. \nAn important\, timely book\, Colorization gives us both an unprecedented history of Black cinema and a groundbreaking perspective on racism in modern America.

Si quieres\, compartes el texto con el resto de los participantes. Hacemos una pausa para leer los textos e intercambiar opiniones mientras te tomas una copa en casa. Después repetimos la misma dinámica. \nTEMA: Un leve aire de amenaza \nLa narración debe contener siempre tensión\, una sensación de que algo es inminente. Suspense es un sustantivo que procede del verbo suspender; es decir que el desenlace se retarda de un modo deliberado para suscitar en el lector el deseo de seguir adelante con el texto. En este breve taller de escritura comentaremos y pondremos en práctica algunos de esos mecanismos de tensión.

SUMMARY:Presentación de la antología "Entre el aliento y el precipicio. Poéticas sobre la belleza VOL. I y II"
DESCRIPTION:Con: Piedad Bonnett (Colombia)\, Mariela Dreyfus (Perú)\, José Kozer (Cuba)\, Mercedes Roffé (Argentina) y Keila Vall de la Ville (Venezuela)\, editora de la antología. \nSi la estética moderna nació justamente como resultado de la necesidad de pensar el desbordamiento de lo bello más allá de sí mismo en un momento en que el pensamiento se orientó a la dicotomización del universo\, hoy día resulta no solo posible sino forzoso reunir ambas categorías\, (re)vincularlas como dos momentos de una misma experiencia\, como los dos componentes del mismo cristal que siempre fueron. Es momento de rescatar el movimiento de lo ilimitado en el borde del límite para ver manifestarse la belleza en su completitud. \nSin duda\, la belleza sigue siendo una búsqueda\, una experiencia y un resultado que los seres humanos intentan manifestar y preservar: es considerada\, digan lo que digan sus detractores\, un valor. No puede permanecer silenciada. \nEn este libro\, treinta y tres magníficas voces de las américas comparten sus miradas sobre la belleza\, develan intuiciones y pensamientos únicos sobre lo que lo bello es y ofrecen sus textos como prueba del pacto que les permite tomar aliento cada vez que el precipicio que anuncia toda manifestación luminosa se les presenta y les invita a saltar.

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: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:In Conversation: Three Writers on Myth\, Migration & Mourning
DESCRIPTION:This event is being livestreamed from MDC’s Wolfson Campus. For tickets to this in-person event\, please visit: MiamiBookFair.com. \nTalia\, the protagonist of Patricia Engel’s Infinite Country: A Novel\, is being held at a correctional facility in Colombia. Her father and a plane ticket to the U.S. are waiting for her back home in Bogotá. And her story\, a tale of how her family came to be in two different countries and two different worlds\, comes into focus like twists of a kaleidoscope. In Concepcion: An Immigrant Family’s Fortunes\, Albert Samaha moves across decades and countries as he questions the belief in a better future that inspired his family to uproot themselves from the Philippines. Has it been worth the cost? In Seeing Ghosts: A Memoir\, Kat Chow draws an intimate and haunting portrait of the fallout of grief on three generations of her Chinese American family after the sudden loss of its matriarch. \nSponsored by \n \n \n
