Miami Book Fair International: 28 years and counting! Welcome to our 28th Miami Book Fair. This year we have so much new, so much enhanced...so much to do and read (and discover!) at the Fair. Our featured country is China, and the Fair has partnered with the Confucius Institute at MDC to present a day-long symposium on China’s culture and language, including a round-table discussion with China’s most important contemporary writers. This is a very significant program and part of our ongoing goal of bringing global literary perspectives to our community. Our international scope also includes thought-provoking dialogue as part of

Madeline Pumariega, MDC Wolfson Campus President; Ye Hongxing, 2011 poster artist and Dr. Eduardo J. Padrón, President, Miami Dade College

our IberoAmerican program schedule, and author presentations in French and Portuguese. Out-of-the-box events at this year’s Fair include cooking demos by cookbook authors/chefs at the Miami Culinary Institute; the Book Fair debut of Literary Death Match, an Idol-style reading event that pits authors against each other; and a “date night” twist to one of Friday’s Evenings With that comes complete with free drinks and celebrity guests. Fairgoers will also enjoy the return of Twilight Tastings—five happy hours prior to our weekday evening programs, courtesy of some of Miami’s coolest restaurants. Then, there’s the main event: the Festival of Authors—celebrities, promising debuts, controversial topics, enthralling novels, lyrical verse, edgy graphic novels, tell-all biographies, teen favorites, and so much more. Yet, I think the real winners at this year’s Fair will be...the kids! We’ve added an extra day of presentations to our student program, and invite all schools, private and public, in Miami-Dade and Broward counties to come on field trips, Children’s Alley will feature a bigger stage and more children’s authors, storytellers and magical performers, and Sunday, November 20, has been officially declared Wimpy Kid FUNday at the Fair! That’s right! Jeff Kinney, beloved author of the megaselling series Diary of a Wimpy

Kid, returns to the Fair and brings a load of fun activities for kids along with him, including a street full of snow! All to celebrate the latest book in the series, The Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever. Every year, the Alina Interián, Executive Director, The Center @ MDC and Mitchell Street Fair throngs and sold out Book Fair events Kaplan, Chairperson, Miami Book Fair give me great hope for the future. The book is not dead; people will never stop reading. See you at the Fair!

Christopher Paolini

Rosanne Cash

Christopher Paolini’s personal story is nearly as fantastic as his books. As a youngster, Christopher’s love for stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby; he never intended it to be published. He was all of fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. Author Carl Hiaasen, whose stepson read a copy of the self-published book while on vacation, brought Eragon to the attention of his publisher, Knopf. Since then, his young-adult fantasy series, the Inheritance Cycle, has become a literary phenomenon, spawning New York Times bestsellers, a feature film, and 20 million books sold. Inheritance (Knopf Books for Young Readers, $27.99) is the much-anticipated fourth installment and conclusion of the Inheritance Cycle.

The official inauguration of the 28th Miami Book Fair International kicks off with remarks from Fair organizers, local dignitaries, and representatives of this year’s featured country, China. Immediately following the inauguration, the Chinese Pavilion will officially open its doors and host an opening reception, also free and open to the public.

For over three decades, Rosanne Cash has been one of the most compelling figures in popular music, having moved from Nashville stardom, to acclaim as singersongwriter and author of essays and short stories. Her memoir, Composed (Viking, $16.00), traces her fraught relationship with her father, country legend Johnny Cash; how she gradually worked her way to chart-topping success; the loss of her parents; and finding fulfillment in motherhood and in her husband and musical collaborator, John Leventhal. Cash’s 14 albums have charted 11 number-one singles. She is the author of Bodies of Water and the children’s book, Penelope Jane: A Fairy’s Tale. Her essays and fiction have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone and New York Magazine.

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor), 6 p.m. | Admission $10 (free parking)

Essayist, memoirist, social historian, satirist, journalist, humorist, novelist, short-story writer, critic, food writer, poet and novelist—Calvin Trillin has done, and written, it all. He has been called “the finest reporter in America.” Trillin’s wry commentary on the American scene and his books chronicling his adventures as a “happy eater” have earned him renown as “a classic American humorist.” From 1967 to 1982, he produced a highly praised series for The New Yorker called “U.S. Journal” – 3,000-word pieces every three weeks from somewhere in the United States, on everything from murder to regional cooking. In Quite Enough of Calvin Trillin (Random House, $27.00), he assembles forty years of his best and funniest material on topics ranging from the Shoe Bomber to John Edwards’s hair.

His illustrated children’s book, We Are The Ship: The Story of Negro League Baseball (Hyperion Books for Children, $18.99), winner of the Corretta Scott King Award, is a tribute to the spirit of the Negro Leaguers, from the formation of the first Negro League to Jackie Robinson breaking baseball’s color barrier. Nelson’s Heart and Soul: The Story of America and African-Americans (Balzer & Bray, $19.99) is an epic journey through American history, from colonial days through the civil rights movement.

Dr. Paul Farmer

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor), 8 p.m. | Admission $10 (free parking)

Medical anthropologist and physician, Dr. Paul Farmer has dedicated his life to treating some of the world’s poorest populations. He is a founding director of Partners In Health, an international charity organization that provides direct health care services and undertakes research and advocacy on behalf of those who are sick and living in poverty. In Haiti After the Earthquake (PublicAffairs, $27.99), Dr. Farmer, who has worked in Haiti for nearly thirty years, describes the earthquake’s impact on that country in the days and weeks immediately after the event, and over the subsequent year, when he and his colleagues worked along with the UN to marshal international support for Haiti’s recovery efforts. President Bill Clinton says of the book, “Once you’ve seen Haiti through Paul Farmer’s eyes, you’ll never see Haitians, or any of the world’s poorest people, quite the same way again.”

As both artist and activist, Harry Belafonte has touched the lives of countless people. One of the greatest entertainers of our time, he has also led one of the great American lives of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Belafonte’s album, Calypso, made him the first artist in history to sell more than one million LPs. He has won both a Tony award and an Emmy, and he was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Bill Clinton. He has served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and is the recipient of Kennedy Center Honors for excellence in the performing arts. In his memoir, My Song (Knopf, $30.50), this extraordinary icon tells about it all—his poverty-ridden childhood; his rise to one of the world’s most popular singers; how he broke racial barriers, achieved equal popularity with white and black audiences; and his lifelong involvement in the civil rights movement and countless other political and social causes.

An Evening with

David Brooks

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor), 8 p.m. | Admission $10 (free parking)

David Brooks is one of the country’s leading writers and commentators. Millions know him from his New York Times columns and his regular appearances on The PBS NewsHour and Meet the Press. He is the essential explainer of the way we live now, and hundreds of thousands have read his books. In his latest book, The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement (Random House, $27.00), Brooks tackles one of the most fundamental yet vexing questions of human existence: Why do we do what we do? For a generation, our culture has emphasized the power of the individual. But Brooks explains how new findings about the deepest recesses of our minds should change the way we see ourselves, raise our kids, conduct business, manage our relationships, and, yes, practice politics.

Eric Robert Greitens

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor), 6 p.m. | Admission $10 (free parking)

Scholar, humanitarian, warrior--they all apply to Eric Robert Greitens. A Rhodes and Truman Scholar who attended Oxford, Greitens is also a Navy SEAL officer, who was deployed four times during the Global War on Terrorism, during which he was awarded the Purple Heart and Bronze Star. Shortly after his last deployment, he channeled his grief and resourcefulness into developing a charitable organization, Mission Continues, that helps wounded veterans restart their lives via participation in public-service organizations. In his memoir, The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $27.00), Greitens confronts a dilemma: how to be a deterrent against the evils of the world while protecting the sick and powerless. “His (Greitens) life and this book reminds us that America remains the land of the brave and generous,” says Tom Brokaw.

An Evening with

The work of John Sayles has been integral to the development of independent film in the United States. Beginning with his first movie, Return of the Secaucus 7, his 16 feature films have helped overcome the constraints of the traditional Hollywood studio system. Though he is best known as an independent filmmaker, Sayles began his career as a writer of fiction, authoring collections of short stories, and novels, including Union Dues, which was nominated for a National Book Award. His latest historical novel, A Moment in the Sun (McSweeney’s $29.00), is the sweeping story of the turn of the twentieth century. Spanning five years and half a dozen countries, from Mark Twain to the assassination of President McKinley, A Moment in the Sun is history rediscovered through the lives of the people who made it happen, told by a man who has made a career of making it happen — his way.

Ron Suskind

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor), 6 p.m. | Admission $10 (free parking)

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Ron Suskind has written some of America’s most important works of nonfiction, framing national debates while exploring the complexities of human experience. He was The Wall Street Journal’s senior national affairs reporter from 1993 until his departure in 2000, and won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Writing. His previous works include the New York Times bestseller, The Way of the World, about the forces fighting the global “hearts and minds” struggle. Suskind’s latest book, Confidence Men (HarperCollins, $29.99), is the story of the fall of the U.S. economy, the rise of President Barack Obama, and the President’s harrowing battle to take control of his White House and earn the confidence of the American people. The book has spawned considerable debate and a strong backlash from the White House. “An authoritative window on the inner workings of the administration and a useful management primer on how not to run an organization . . .,” according to Fortune magazine. Come judge for yourself.

5-8:30 p.m. - Calligraphy, Chinese music ensemble, and more

A feminist and a working-class storyteller who writes to change the world, Dorothy Allison frankly tackles gender, class, violence, and sexual orientation. During the 1970s and early 1980s, she was an award -winning editor and writer for early feminist, lesbian, and gay journals. With her first published work, The Women Who Hate Me, Allison honored and scrutinized her class background and sexuality, and at the same time outraged mainstream feminists by lauding promiscuity, sadomasochism, and butch-femme roles. Allison won the strongest mainstream praise for her largely autobiographical novel, Bastard Out of Carolina, a bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award. Her second novel, Cavedweller, was a New York Times bestseller. Both have been adapted into film. “I don’t want to simplify when I write,” says Allison. “I want people there with their warts on. I want you to love them even when you hate them.”

China has one of civilization’s oldest literary traditions. Even today, the role of the public intellectual in China, remains primarily the domain of the author. How has the political and cultural climate in China changed and shaped this tradition? How does the role of the artist, and, in particular, the author, in China compare with those roles in the United States? What is the cultural climate for the arts in China? What are some of the opportunities and challenges faced by Chinese artists? Join a timely panel discussion, comprised of many of China’s most successful, knowledgeable, and, in some cases, controversial authors and educators, as they present a fascinating image of contemporary China. The panel will be moderated by Da Chen, a leading Chinese-American memoirist, literary novelist, and young-adult author, whose writing has been translated into 14 languages. Simultaneous interpretation available. See pages 14-15 for more information.

Turn literature into play with activities inspired by Kai-lan!

Come join the adventurous preschooler, her grandfather Ye-Ye, and all her forest pals as everyone participates in fun activities, such as listening to authentic Chinese pipa music while planting lucky bamboo. Play along with your own tambourine and learn Mandarin words, too! “Hi Mr. Sun”: “Ni Hao” Mr. Sun! “Ni Hao” to all our friends!

One World, Many Stories (Ages 4 to 8) Sponsored by The Children’s Trust

Learn how to say hello in ten languages! There are so many ways to define humankind — by country, continent, skin color and culture. Sure, we’re different, but aren’t we also one big family? Inside One World, Many Stories, books that celebrate our commonalities, as they acknowledge our differences, take center stage. Mem Fox, in Whoever You Are (a Reading Rainbow Book), writes about just that. Karen Katz, in The Colors of Us, reveals the many shades and tones of our skin. And Todd Parr, in Reading Makes You Feel Good, finds the universal goodness in our common connection to literacy and the world. Come and be uniquely you! And notice how much like your neighbor you really are.

Go around the world with Judy and learn about different countries as you construct flags and puppets from many nations. Meet Stink and his amazing hamster. Create your own pet puppets. Try on a career for size! Create career hats, and instruments and tools. Make your own treasure map and sail with Judy and Stink on the high seas.

People, animals, trees and water — they’re all connected, and they all play a significant role in our environment. Learn how at The Green Planet. Make usable paper from recycled goods; use a scale to understand energy use and your impact on the planet; learn about waste decomposition in our oceans; have a close encounter with Florida wildlife; and enjoy interactive readings and storytelling, all related to our green planet and our important connection to nature.

September 2011 saw the release of Yiddishkeit, and in 2012 two final graphic novels: Harvey Pekar’s Cleveland and Not The Israel My Parents Promised.

China AN EXPLORATION of China and its culture through language and the arts With the Support of:

The Office of International Education at MDC Belle Yang

Hong Ying

The economic changes brought about by China’s emerging market economy have also affected nearly every aspect of its culture and communications, including writing and publishing. These days, writers have become cultural entrepreneurs and state publishing houses are increasingly motivated by commercial success. Yet, China’s official and unofficial policies regarding freedom of expression often seem at odds with this new economic awakening.

The 28th Miami Book Fair International focuses on China, hoping to build a bridge of understanding with a country and a culture which is as vibrant, complex, and sometimes contradictory as any other on the planet. For the next week, the Fair and our Chinese partners will present a wealth of activities, from demonstrations of Chinese culture and art, to discussions of social issues facing contemporary China. Join us in an examination of our two cultures’ commonalities and our differences, as we seek to learn from each other. With a recorded history of more than 5,000 years, it’s safe to say that if the story of China were a book, it would be a multi-volume epic. Sometimes regarded as a monolithic entity, China is actually comprised of 56 ethnic groups, of which 53 speak their own distinct language and 23 use their own writing scripts. Religions represented in China include Buddhism, Daoism, Islam and other forms of Christianity. While many people know of China’s famous Forbidden City and Great Wall, far fewer are aware that paper was invented in China, that China produced the largest and earliest encyclopedia on record (consisting of nearly 23,000 volumes!), the first musical instrument (the Xun), and that it has one of the world’s oldest literary traditions. That tradition, including a love of stories, continues today-the last of the Harry Potter series sold more than 16 million copies in China!

The Last Word: The Role of Literature and the Arts in Contemporary Chinese Culture Friday, November 18 Presentation Pavilion (N.E. 3rd St. and 1st Ave.) 6:30 p.m. | Free

Simultaneous interpretation available China has one of civilization’s oldest literary traditions. Even today, the Jiang Bing Yan Lianke Jing Yi Zhu Wen Da Chen role of the public intellectual in China remains primarily the domain of the author. How has the political and cultural climate in China changed and shaped this tradition? How does the role of the artist, and, in particular, the author, in China compare with those roles in the United States? What is the cultural climate for the arts in China? What are some of the opportunities and challenges faced by Chinese artists? Join a timely panel discussion, comprised of many of China’s most successful, knowledgeable, and, in some cases, controversial authors and educators, as they present a fascinating image of contemporary China: Jiang Bing, the Secretary General of the China Novels Society; Yan Lianke, the author of eight novels, ten novellas, and five volumes of essays, some of which have been banned in China; Jing Yi, the principal of the Huaxia School of Traditional Culture; Zhu Wen, one of the most influential writers and film directors in contemporary China; and Yu Hua, the first Chinese writer to win the James Joyce Foundation Award. The panel will be moderated by Da Chen, a leading Chinese-American memoirist, literary novelist, and young-adult author, whose writing has been translated into 14 languages. Chen’s next novel, My Last Empress, will be published in 2012.

CHINA / ESCENARIO DEL MUNDO

Pabellón China 3ra Calle esquina a 1ra Avenida del N.E. Inauguración: 13 de nov. a las 6 p.m. Abierto: Del 14 al 18 de nov. en las noches y el 19 y 20 de nov., de 10 a.m. a 6 p.m.

Explorando la cultura de China a través de su arte y literatura La 28va Feria Internacional del Libro de Miami hace especial énfasis en la tradición de las artes y letras de China, un país que posee la cultura más vibrante, compleja y en ocasiones contradictoria del planeta. Vivimos dentro de un mundo en que la manufactura China se ve por doquier, la filosofía antigua de los chinos permea los manuales para alcanzar la felicidad que abarrotan las librerías estadounidenses, la medicina tradicional china nos alivia múltiples dolencias y los restaurantes de comida china gozan de gran popularidad. Sin embargo, poco conocemos de la literatura y artes contemporáneas de China. Durante estos ocho días, la Feria y los organizadores de la muestra cultural de China, presentarán un variado programa de actividades que incluye demostraciones de arte y literatura y un simposium sobre el lenguaje, la cultura y las comunicaciones.

Los cambios producidos en el país como consecuencia de la emergente economía de mercado china, han afectado también aspectos de la cultura y las comunicaciones, trayendo cambios en el quehacer literario y en el mundo editorial nacional. Actualmente los escritores pueden expresarse a través del mundo virtual y las editoriales estatales chinas tienen más interés en el éxito comercial.

China es un país con más de cinco mil años de historia y aunque para quienes la miran desde afuera, parece una entidad monolítica, su población actual está conformada por 56 grupos étnicos, de los cuáles 53 hablan sus lenguas autóctonas y 23 utilizan su propia escritura. Las religiones que se practican en el país son el Budismo, Taoísmo, Islamismo y diversas formas de Cristianismo.

La Feria Internacional del Libro de Miami se complace en dar la bienvenida a un grupo impresionante de figuras literarias de China, entre ellos Jiang Bing, Secretario General de la Sociedad de Novelas de China, Yu Hua y Zhu Wen, como también a una serie de autores chinoestadounidenses relevantes, por ejemplo, Da Chen y Gene Luen Yang.

La Feria Internacional del Libro de Miami en colaboración con el Hanban (Oficina Nacional para la Enseñanza del Idioma Chino como Lengua Extranjera) y su entidad afiliada, El Confucius Institute del Miami Dade College, parte de un grupo de instituciones sin fines de lucro que promueven el intercambio cultural, han hecho posible esta muestra que se enfoca en una de las culturas más ricas y antiguas del mundo.
