From open contests to the open-air
Book Fair, Knight Foundation has
invested more than $86 million over the
past six years to make the arts general in
South Florida.

welcome to the 31st miami book fair!
Great
communities
gather around
good books.
That’s why Miami Book Fair International is the largest literary
event in the country and why we have such generous
support from Miami’s ever-growing community of readers,
sponsors and friends.
We’re particularly pleased to announce a significant new
partnership between John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
and the Center for Literature and Theatre at Miami Dade
College to make Miami a year-round, international destination
for writers and readers.
At this year’s Fair, you will experience Knight Foundation’s
extraordinary commitment in programs and partnerships
throughout the week:
• daily live-streaming and national event coverage
by PBS
• a major new section of the Fair dedicated to local literary
and other artistic talent at “The Swamp”
• an international children’s theatre festival, Play Time!,
produced by Teatro Prometeo
• a roundtable on the Amazon Effect and profound changes
in publishing and literary culture live-streamed throughout
the country

During the Week
(pages 4-9)
• a new partnership with the National Book Foundation
making Miami the only gathering outside New York for the
2014 National Book Awards Winners and Finalists.
• a new partnership with the Poetry Foundation, helping to
make this year’s Fair one of the country’s largest and most
prominent gathering of poets.

Arts @ the Fair

Miami Writers Institute
(page 11)

• an expanded array of independent publishers and artistmade books during Street Fair weekend.

The Swamp

The energy and funding commitment of Knight Foundation
continues after the Fair, when The Center will embark on
a research and strategic planning process to truly gauge
what our community wants and needs from a literary arts
organization. A study that will suggest ways we can best
serve a nationwide audience, and how, using live-streaming
and other technologies, The Center and the Fair can transcend
their physical location.

The Kitchen

The Fair is also proud to announce
new partnerships with:
• the Ford Foundation, supporting “The Fire This Time,” an
extraordinary remembrance tribute to James Baldwin on
the 90th anniversary of his birth
• the Rockefeller Foundation, supporting “Critics in the
Cloud,” the first-ever convening of the leading online
critics of books and culture in the U.S.
With this new support, combined with the generosity of
foundations, corporate, and individuals — including The Miami
Foundation, American Airlines, and others — Miami will continue
to be a book-lover's dream.
Come share the dream. Support the Fair!

INAUGURAL EVENT: MDC Live Arts and
Miami Book Fair International present

Three Acts, Two Dancers
and One Radio Host:
Ira Glass, Monica Bill
Barnes, and Anna Bass
Olympia Theater at the Gusman
5 p.m.
Center for the Performing Arts
(Flagler Street and 2nd Ave.)
Tickets $35-$55 ($10 MDC Students with ID)
For tickets, visit mdclivearts.org
Dance and radio — two art forms that, as This American Life radio host Ira Glass puts it,
“have no business being together.” And yet, Glass and dance choreographer Monica Bill Barnes
felt that their work shared a sensibility, even though hers includes no talking and his no physical
movement. Their collaboration is a show that includes radio interviews restaged as dance
pieces, plus stories from the lives of each of the performers. The result is a funny, lively, and
surprisingly emotional evening that brought the house down during its first test run at Carnegie
Hall. The New York Times calls the show, which includes dancer Anna Bass,
“. . . unapologetically human and refreshingly relatable . . .” Glass adds,
“People who like This American Life will probably like this, because it’s
just like the radio show, um, if you picture dancing during all the stories.”

(Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor)

Marriage Equality:
Redeeming the Dream
3 p.m. / Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor)
Free tickets required for admission
On June 26, 2013, the Supreme Court of
the United States issued a pair of landmark
decisions, striking down the Defense of
Marriage Act and eliminating California’s
Proposition 8, reinstating the freedom to
marry for gays and lesbians in California. In
their book, Redeeming the Dream: The Case
for Marriage Equality, the attorneys who
argued the case, David Boies and Theodore
B. Olson, tell the fascinating story of the
five-year struggle to win the right for gays
to marry. Join Olson, his wife (and moderator)
Lady Booth Olson, and plaintiffs in the
landmark case, Kris Perry and Sandy Stier,
for an up-close account of
the most important civil rights
issue — fought and won — since
Brown v. Board of Education.

Alexander McCall Smith has written and contributed to more than 100 books, including
specialist academic titles, short story collections, and a number of immensely popular
children’s books. He is best known, however, for his internationally acclaimed and bestselling
No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, which has been translated into forty-five languages and
has sold over twenty million copies worldwide.  The Handsome Man’s Deluxe Café (Pantheon;
$24.95) is the fifteenth installment in the series. The proprietress of the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective
Agency faces new challenges when her partner branches out and opens a café. The Plain
Dealer reports, “McCall Smith is a vivid observer and an elegant writer, honoring Botswanan
customs and culture . . .  Like the best traditions, this series is one we hope will endure.”

Patricia Cornwell tells aspiring authors, “Start writing. And don’t take no for an answer.”
Cornwell began her career as a journalist, receiving widespread praise for her series of articles
on prostitution and crime. Next came a job at a medical examiner’s office — a post she would
later bestow upon her fictional character, Dr. Kay Scarpetta. In the decades since, Scarpetta,
along with her tech-savvy niece Lucy and fellow investigator Pete Marino, have grown into
an international phenomenon. Cornwell’s books have sold some 100 million copies in thirty-six
languages in over 120 countries, including twenty-six New York Times bestsellers. In Flesh and
Blood (HarperCollins; $28.99), the twenty-second offering in the Scarpetta series, the master
forensic investigator finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no
incriminating evidence, except fragments of copper.

8 p.m.

There are other 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 Vampire Chronicles created both a cult following and great
mainstream success. Rice is the author of over thirty books, ranging in topics and genres from
religion to erotica. Collectively, her books have sold
nearly 100 million copies, making her one of the

Parenting is one of many topics Dave Barry treats to his humorous take on life. Though he wants to make
it clear that he is serious about the title to his new book, You Can Date Boys When You’re Forty (Putnam;
$26.95). In fact, he’s noted the date his daughter will reach that milestone — February 24, 2040. Until
then, he writes, “I intend to monitor her closely, even if I am deceased.” In Sandra Tsing Loh’s memoir,
The Madwoman in the Volvo: My Year of Raging Hormones (Norton $25.95), she tells the moving and
laugh-out-loud tale of her journey through “the change.” This is not your grandmother’s menopause story.
Join these two good friends of a certain age as they take a look at their futures and reach the upbeat
conclusion: it does get better.

Street.  Free admission.

8 p.m.

Nicholas D. Kristof’s writing has effected change on a global scale. After Bill and Melinda Gates read
an article Kristof wrote about infant mortality, it spurred them to direct their philanthropic aims towards
solving world poverty.  President Bill Clinton said of Kristof, “There is no one in journalism . . . who has
done anything like the work he has done to figure out how poor people are actually living around the
world, and what their potential is . . .” In A Path Appears: Transforming Lives, Creating Opportunity (Knopf;
$27.95), the two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist presents a sweeping tapestry of people who are
making the world a better place, and a guide to the ways that we can do the same. Kristof identifies
successful local and global initiatives, and shares stories from the frontlines of social progress. A Path
Appears offers practical, results-driven advice on how best each of us can give, and reveals the lasting
benefits we gain in return.

Educated as a scientist, Barbara Ehrenreich is an author, journalist, activist, and advocate for social
justice. Her previous books include timely examinations of social inequality, such as This Land is Their
Land and Nickel and Dimed. But there was one period of Ehrenreich’s life she describes as “so strange,
so cataclysmic, that I never in all the intervening years wrote or spoke about it, if only because I was
afraid of being judged insane.” Following her recovery from breast cancer, Ehrenreich vowed to put
those experiences in context and try to understand what had happened. The result is Living With a
Wild God: An Unbeliever’s Search for the Truth About Everything (Grand Central Publishing; $26.00),
which Ehrenreich describes as “a sort of philosophical memoir or . . . a metaphysical thriller.” Join one of
today’s most important thinkers in her journey for the truth.

8 p.m.

Chuck Todd is the Chief White House Correspondent and Political Director of NBC News, and host of
Meet the Press. He also serves as NBC News’ on-air political analyst for NBC Nightly News with Brian
Williams, Today, and the MSNBC programs Morning Joe and Hardball with Chris Matthews. Todd brings
his political savvy to bear in his latest book, The Stranger: Barack Obama in the White House (Little,
Brown & Company; $29.00).  If President Obama came to the White House thinking he could change
the political culture, he soon discovered just how difficult it was to swim upstream against insiders,
partisans, and old-guard networks allied to undermine his agenda — including members of his own
party.  In The Stranger, Chuck Todd draws upon his unprecedented inner-circle sources to create a
gripping account of Obama’s White House tenure.

demand; 15 Views of Miami launch
party; A Night with Buika

6 p.m.

Larry McMurtry met Diana Ossana at a catfish restaurant in Tucson, Arizona, where she was working at a
law firm and he was recovering from heart surgery.  McMurtry was already an award-winning novelist and
essayist, whose work included The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment, and Lonesome Dove, for
which he won the Pulitzer Prize. Their friendship has led to a tremendously successful writing partnership,
including the novels Pretty Boy Floyd, and Zeke and Ned. When Ossana read the short story “Brokeback
Mountain” in the New Yorker, she and McMurtry bought the rights and co-wrote the Oscar and Golden
Globe-winning screenplay adaptation.  In The Last Kind Words Saloon (Liveright; $24.95), McMurtry once
again channels the American dreams and fables that fueled his imagination as a youth. McMurtry traces
the rich and varied friendship of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show to the
famed gunfight at the O.K. Corral.  Robert Weil, W.W. Norton’s editor-in-chief and publishing director of
Norton’s Liveright & Company imprint, will join in conversation.

Andruetto

8 p.m.

John Updike wrote of Joyce Carol Oates, “. . . if the phrase ‘woman of letters’ existed, she would be . . .
entitled to it.” Oates’s first collection of short stories was published in 1963. She has gone on to write
more than seventy books in a remarkable variety of genres, including novels, short story collections,
nonfiction, novellas, plays, poetry collections, children’s and young adult books, and has edited many
anthologies of short stories and essays. Her work includes some of the most enduring fiction of our
time, including We Were the Mulvaneys, Blonde, and the New York Times bestseller The Falls. Her latest
story collection, Lovely, Dark, Deep (HarperCollins; $25.99), presents thirteen stories that map the eerie
darkness within us all.  Insightful, disturbing, imaginative, and breathtaking in their lyrical precision, the
stories display Joyce Carol Oates’s ability to make visceral the terror, hurt, and uncertainty that lurks at
the edges of ordinary lives.

Like it or not we exist in a world dominated
by the Internet, which promised to be a

the United States, their families, friends, new
surroundings, and home countries. Join the

By the Book: The New York Times Book
Review Comes for Some Sun
10 a.m. / Sunday, November 23 / Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd floor)
“By the Book” has become one of the most popular features of each
Sunday’s New York Times Book Review. The Book Review’s editor,
Pamela Paul, has gathered sixty-five of the most intriguing exchanges
from the column in her new anthology, By the Book: Writers on Literature
and the Literary Life from The New York Times Book Review. Join Paul in
conversation with some of our best novelists — Nicholson Baker, Walter
Mosley, Ann Patchett, and Francine Prose — who have all made notable
contributions to the series, for an inside look at the famous “Grey Lady’s”
coverage of books and authors.

Island of Change:
The Bold New Voices of Cuba

In Black Prophetic Fire, distinguished
scholars and intellectuals Dr. Cornel West
and Christa Buschendorf provide a fresh
perspective on six revolutionary African
American leaders: Frederick Douglass, W. E.
B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King, Jr., Ella Baker,
Malcolm X, and Ida B. Wells. Join the always
provocative Cornel West and Beacon Press’
renowned director, Helene Atwan, for an
illuminating conversation.

Future Tense: Independence, Diversity and
the Future of Jamaican Publishing
11 a.m. / Sunday, November 23
Room 8525 (Bldg. 8, 2nd floor)
The Jamaican publishing industry is being pulled in two directions — by a
call for more domestic material and the demand for more diverse titles
in the US and UK markets. How can Jamaican authors turn global interest
in brand Jamaica and reggae culture into publishing gold? Featuring
Jamaican Poet Laureate Mervyn Morris, children’s author and publishing
advocate Kellie Magnus, publisher and literary magazine editor Tanya
Batson Savage, and novelist Roland Watson Grant.

The Life, Times, and Legacy
of William S. Burroughs:
A Centennial Celebration

2 p.m. / Saturday, November 22
Room 8525 (Bldg. 8, 5th floor)
Who will shape the future of Cuba? Cuban
bloggers and Internet activists spread the
word the government tries to suppress.
Fiction writers describe a world that remains
hidden to tourists. A new class of Cuban
entrepreneurs is reshaping the island’s
economic realities. Emily Parker, author
of Now I Know Who My Comrades Are:
Voices from the Internet Underground; Ted
Henken, author of Entrepreneurial Cuba: The
Changing Policy Landscape; and Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo, author of
Cuba in Splinters: Eleven Stories from the New Cuba, discuss the people
who are transforming Cuba.

American novelist living today who may
conceivably be possessed by genius.” With
authors, editors, and Burroughs enthusiasts

Apuleyo Mendoza

Córdoba

Pocos escritores alcanzan la universalidad en vida y uno de ellos ha sido el colombiano Gabriel García Márquez.
Para homenajear al ganador del Premio Nobel de Literatura 1982, dos compatriotas suyos – el escritor Plinio
Apuleyo Mendoza y el periodista Enrique Córdoba– compartirán con el público un retrato de la personalidad
y la obra del autor de Cien años de soledad.

Toda buena novela es una adivinanza del mundo.

Lectura dramatizada de tres
textos de García Márquez
–“Monólogo de Isabel viendo
llover en Macondo”, “El
ahogado más hermoso del
mundo” y Diatriba de amor
contra un hombre sentado–
a cargo de un grupo de
actores egresados de
Prometeo. Dirección: Beatriz
J. Rizk.

(Gabriel García Márquez, entrevista en la Revista Nacional de Cultura, Caracas, 1968.)
