Miami Book Fair International: 27 years and counting! 

Mitchell Kaplan, Chairperson, Miami Book Fair International; Alejandro Cabrera de la Mora, poster artist; Mercedes Quiroga, 

MDC Wolfson Campus President; Juan Miguel Gutiérrez Tinoco, Consul General of Mexico in Miami; Alina Interián, Executive 

Director, Florida Center for the Literary Arts at MDC; and Delia Lopez, Director of Operations, Miami Book Fair International. 

In 1989, I stepped into the Book Fair’s offices for the 

first time, excited to be working with books and their authors, 

and even more excited about being part of an endeavor 

connecting them with our community. 

And what a ride it’s been! Though I felt the potential 

from my very first Fair, the last 21 years surpassed even my 

dreams. And as I read through this guide, I can’t help but 

feel overwhelming pride at what our team of book lovers 

has accomplished this year for your enjoyment. Our Festival 

of Authors again tops at more than 350 writers, including 

the internationally renowned Mexican novelist and essayist 

Carlos Fuentes, rock star and poet Patti Smith, and former 

U.S. President George W. Bush. 

Our diversity is what I love about the Fair. And what 

Fairgoers love, too! Of author, of topic, of program… This year 

we celebrate Mexico on the occasion of the bicentennial of 

Arts at the Fair 

Mexican Art Exhibits at the Fair: 

Cuento del Conejo y el Coyote – 

illustrations by Francisco Toledo 

Images of Natalia Toledo’s Cuento 

del Conejo y el Coyote, illustrated by 

her father, Francisco Toledo, will 

be on display during the Fair and 

beyond. Francisco Toledo is a wellknown 

artist who has consistently 

worked in many mediums: pottery, 

sculpture, weaving, graphic arts and 

paintings. His works are exhibited 

worldwide. (Exhibit courtesy of Arvil 

Gallery, Mexico) 

Bicentenario-Itinerante-Empacado – by Jose Nuño 

Inspired by the celebration of Mexico’s independence, 

artist Jose Nuño created a multi-paneled painting 

reinterpreting centuries of Mexican art and the continued 

struggle of Mexicans to define their identity. Jose Nuño 

founded the Picasso and Modigliani galleries in Mexico 

City, and his works are permanently shown in the 

Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City. He has exhibited 

internationally. 

Freedom Tower (Biscayne Blvd. and N.E. 6th St.) 

Monday-Thursday, Nov. 15 - 17, 5-8 p.m. 

Friday-Sunday, Nov. 19 - 21, 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. 

Exhibits will run through Sunday, Dec. 15, 2010 

its independence and the centennial of its revolution with 

a grand pavilion featuring visual arts, music, dance, film, 

cuisine and, of course, literature. Our roster of Mexican 

authors will truly reveal the breadth and depth of our 

neighbor’s literary output, while MexiKids, a venue featuring 

back-to-back activities for children, will introduce our 

littlest Fairgoers’ to colorful Mexican crafts, storytelling and 

performances! 

Back this year, the School of Comics, grows from a 

program for educators on using graphic novels in the 

classroom, to one for aspiring comics creators, too. Kids’ 

Comic Con, a New York City favorite, also returns with backto-back 

classes on making comics. 

Teens and tweens will have more programs than 

ever to enjoy at the Fair. An expanded program of author 

presentations will keep them busy all day Friday and Saturday. 

On Friday, colloquially known as “Kids’ Day,” visiting school 

children will receive free books thanks to our sponsors. If you 

want to bring children to the Fair for Friday authors, call our 

office to reserve space. Saturday presentations are free for 

everyone 18 and under, no reservations required — just show 

up! We can’t wait to see you! 

Our full schedule of events is listed in this Guide. For 

expanded author information and more, please visit our Web

Enjoy the Fair!

Cuba: My Revolution – 

A Graphic Novel Exhibition 

In the early 1960s, Cuban artist Inverna Lockpez 

became disillusioned with the Cuban Revolution. 

Her experiences, inspired Cuba: My Revolution (DC 

Comics/Vertigo). This graphic novel, a collaboration 

between Lockpez and award-winning comics creator 

Dean Haspiel, is the story of a teenager who put aside 

her dreams of being an artist to become a doctor and 

militiawoman when Fidel Castro came to power. The 

exhibit features Haspiel’s originals for the book and 

reproductions of Lockpez’s 1960s drawings. 

Centre Gallery (Bldg. 1, 3rd Floor) 

Monday, Nov. 15, 6 p.m. - Sunday, Nov. 21, 2010 

Lezama inédito – 

A Photography Exhibit by Ivan Cañas 

More than 40 candid photographs of the Cuban poet 

José Lezama Lima, taken four 

decades ago by Ivan Cañas, 

will be exhibited for the first 

time. These original photos of 

the iconic José Lezama Lima, 

are especially poignant – Lima 

always avoided the camera.

Sunday, Nov. 14 

Inaugural Ceremony 

5:30 p.m. | Auditorium (Bldg. 1, 2nd Floor) | Free and open to the public 

The official inauguration of the 27th Miami Book Fair International kicks off 

with renowned Mexican actress Alma Muriel, pianist Virginia Covarrubias 

and Folkloric dance troupe Ballet Mexcaltitán highlighting Miami Book 

Fair’s week-long celebration of their country’s bicentennial. The program will 

also include remarks by Fair organizers and Mexican dignitaries. 

Reception immediately following (Building 1, 4th floor terrace), free and 

open to the public. 

Inaugural Afternoon with 

President George W. Bush 

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor) | 4 p.m. 

Admission: $40 (includes an autographed copy of 

Decision Points) 

Shattering the conventions of political 

autobiography, former President George W. 

Bush offers a journey through the defining 

moments of his life in the much-anticipated 

Decision Points (Crown, $35). Bush brings 

readers inside the Texas Governor’s Mansion 

on the night of the hotly contested 2000 

election; aboard Air Force One on 9/11; at the head of the table in the Situation 

Room in the moments before launching the war in Iraq; and behind the Oval 

Office desk for his historic and controversial decisions on the financial crisis, 

Hurricane Katrina, Afghanistan, Iran, and other issues and events that have 

shaped the first decade of the 21st century. With candor, Bush addresses his 

initiatives to reform education, treat HIV/AIDS in Africa, and safeguard the 

country. He also offers intimate details about his decision to quit drinking, his 

discovery of faith, and his relationship with his family. 

An Evening with 

Carlos Fuentes 

Chapman (Bldg. 3, 2nd Floor) 

7:30 p.m. | Admission: $10 

(in Spanish with simultaneous English interpretation) 

Carlos Fuentes is one of the most 

recognizable and acclaimed authors and public 

intellectuals in the world. The son of the legal 

counsel assigned to the Mexican diplomatic 

corps, Fuentes grew up steeped in international 

events and issues. He entered the Mexican 

diplomatic service, but left when the success 

of his novel, Where the Air is Clear, allowed him to pursue a career as a fulltime 

writer. In 1962, he published The Death of Artemio Cruz — inspired in part 

by the stories his grandmothers had told him of the Mexican revolution and its 

aftermath — a masterpiece of world literature and one of the signature works of 

El Boom, a period of intense creativity in Latin American fiction. 

Besides the more than fifteen novels he has published to date, Fuentes has 

also authored collections of short stories, essays and outspoken — sometimes 

controversial — political commentary. His awards include the prestigious 

Cervantes Prize, the Royal Spanish Academy Prize for Best Book, the Biblioteca 

Breve Seix-Barral Prize, the Xavier Villaurrutia Prize, Príncipe de Asturias Prize 

and the Don Quijote de la Mancha Prize. 

Fuentes returns to Miami Book Fair International — he was a presenting guest 

at the third Fair in 1987 — to discuss his remarkable life and literary career on 

the occasion of the Fair’s celebration of Mexican culture. 

And in Spanish… (For more information, see page 23.) 

4 p.m. - Mexican Essayist Gonzalo Celorio 

Monday, Nov. 15 

Official Inauguration of Plaza Mexico 

(N.E. 3rd Street and 1st Ave.) 

5 p.m. - Visit the pavilion and browse through thousands of 

books, delight in the sights and sounds of Mexico, enjoy colorful 

folkloric dances, and savour Mexican delicacies and beverages. 

Jay-Z in conversation with Dr. Cornel West 

at the New York Public Library (Live Telecast) 

7 p.m. | Auditorium (Bldg. 1, 2nd Floor) | Free and open to the public 

Decoded, the first book written by the multi-platinum, 10-time 

Grammy Award winning, Jay-Z, offers an intimate, first-hand 

account of an artist, his work, and the culture that so powerfully 

shaped him. This once-in-a-lifetime conversation between the hiphop 

entrepreneur and icon and Dr. Cornel West, one of America’s 

most provocative public intellectuals, will be streamed live at just a 

few venues in the U.S. 

A limited number of signed books will be available for sale on a 

first-come, first-served basis. 


Nora Ephron 


8 p.m. | Admission: $10 

Nora Ephron returns to 

the Miami Book Fair with I 

Remember Nothing and Other 

Reflections (Knopf, $22.95), 

which Publishers Weekly called 

“an intelligent, alert, entertaining 

perspective that does not take 

itself too seriously.” Ephron 

recalls with signature clarity and 

wisdom everything she hasn’t (yet) forgotten, and all the while, 

gives candid, edgy voice to everything women who have reached 

a certain age think — but rarely acknowledge. 

Ephron is one of the country’s most well-known and beloved 

screenwriters and directors. She recently wrote and directed 

the hit movie Julie & Julia, and has received Academy Award 

nominations for best original screenplay for the immensely 

popular and critically acclaimed When Harry Met Sally, Silkwood, 

and Sleepless in Seattle, which she also directed.

During the Week November 14-21, 2010 

Tuesday, Nov. 16 


Christopher McDougall 



Barefoot running: everybody’s doing it… 

and arguing about it. And Christopher 

McDougall is the man who spurred the 

craze. Full of incredible characters, amazing 

athletic achievements, cutting-edge science, 

and, most of all, pure inspiration, Born to 

Run: A Hidden Tribe, Super Athletes, and the 

Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen 

(Vintage Books $24.95), has been hailed as a “breakthrough” by The New 

York Times. 

In search of the answer to one simple question: Why does my foot hurt? 

McDougall set off to find a reclusive tribe of Tarahumara, the world’s greatest 

distance runners, to learn their secrets. Jon Stewart of The Daily Show said, 

“It’s a great book…a really gripping read,” while CNBC sports business reporter 

Darren Rovell called it “the best book I’ve ever read.” 

As a correspondent for the Associated Press, McDougall covered war in 

Congo and Angola, and the genocide in Rwanda. He is the author of Girl 

Trouble: The True Saga of Superstar Gloria Trevi and the Secret Teenage Sex 

Cult that Stunned the World. 


Robert Goolrick 



Robert Goolrick’s debut novel, the #1 

New York Times best seller, A Reliable 

Wife (Algonquin $14.95), may be set in 

cold, snowy Wisconsin a century ago, but 

it set off flames in the literary world as 

book clubs and reviewers alike clamored 

to give their opinions. Readers are still 

debating this engrossing novel--and Goolrick 

will be in Miami to help further the discussion. His page-turner starts off 

chastely enough as a wealthy businessman advertises for “a reliable wife’’ in 

newspapers across America. But it soon heats up as he chooses a mate who 

isn’t the “simple, honest woman” she describes herself as. 

The Washington Post Book World says “A Reliable Wife isn’t just hot, it’s 

in heat: a gothic tale of such smoldering desire it should be read in a cold 

shower.” 

Goolrick is also the author of the memoir, The End of the World As We Know 

It: Scenes From A Life. 

And in Spanish…

6 p.m. – The Soul of a People: Writing America’s Story 

A Smithsonian Channel Documentary Film; 41 minutes 

During the Great Depression, while hundreds of thousands survived 

by wielding picks and shovels at Works Progress Administration (WPA) 

jobs, a smaller cadre created America’s first-ever self-portrait in WPA 

travel guides. The Soul of a People shows the underbelly of Florida 

as it chronicles how much of African-American culture 1930s writers 

would include in the WPA’s Federal Writers Project Florida Guide Book. 

The documentary features noted authors Studs Terkel, Zora Neale 

Hurston, Richard Wright and Stetson Kennedy. 

8 p.m. – Key West: Bohemia in the Arts 

WLRN Public Radio and Television; 30 minutes 

Key West has been home or favorite visiting spot to some of 

the United States’ most renowned poets and writers, from Ernest 

Hemingway to Robert Frost and Elizabeth Bishop. Key West: Bohemia 

in the Arts examines the Conch Republic’s allure through interviews 

with such well known contemporary authors as Gore Vidal and 

Russell Banks. 


John Waters 



John Waters is a prolific film 

director, author, photographer and 

sometime actor, best known for 

his films, many of which put the 

“transgress” in transgressive. 

Waters’ profiles of his favorite 

personalities, collected in Role 

Models (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 

$25), are a personal invitation into one of the most unique, perverse 

and hilarious artistic minds of our time. In essays about a lesbian 

stripper, the owner of his favorite Baltimore bar, Tennessee Williams 

and Leslie Van Houten–the longest-incarcerated Charles Manson 

follower–“Waters can’t help revealing on every page that he’s both 

sentimental and good-hearted,” wrote Tom Carson in the New York 

Times Book Review. 

Waters managed to create a whole genre of movies best described 

by an oxymoron—trash masterpieces. In 1972, he made what 

would become the most notorious film in the American independent 

cinema of the 1970s, Pink Flamingos. He went on to create a series 

of campy, kitschy, cult classics, including Female Trouble, Desperate 

Living, and Hairspray.

Friday, Nov. 19 

5:30 p.m. | Visit Twilight Tastings and delight in the flavors of Mexico | Room 6100 (Bldg. 6, 1st Floor) | Free and open to the public 

Courtesy of the Mexican Cultural Institute and the Mexican Tourism Board in Miami 

In Disintegration: The Splintering of 

Black America (Doubleday, $24.95), 

Eugene Robinson, Pulitzer Prize– 

winning journalist for the Washington 

Post, provides persuasive evidence 

that the African-American population 

has splintered into four distinct and 

increasingly disconnected entities: 

a small elite with enormous influence, a mainstream middle-class 

majority, a newly emergent group of recent immigrants from Africa and 

the Caribbean and an abandoned minority “with less hope of escaping 

poverty than at any time since Reconstruction’s end.” 

Robinson explores 140 years of black history in America, focusing on 

how the civil rights movement, desegregation and affirmative action 

contributed to the fragmentation. 

Robinson has also authored Coal to Cream: A Black Man’s Journey 

Beyond Color to an Affirmation of Race and Last Dance in Havana: The 

Final Days of Fidel and the Start of the New Cuban Revolution. 


Pat Conroy 



As is the case with most writers, 

bestselling author Pat Conroy readily 

acknowledges the huge influence 

books have had upon him. For Conroy, 

however, reading is not simply a 

pleasure to be enjoyed in off-hours 

or as a source of inspiration for his 

own writing. In My Reading Life (Nan 

A. Talese, $25), Conroy credits books for saving both his life and his 

sanity. The book includes wonderful anecdotes from Conroy’s school 

days, moving accounts of how reading pulled him through his most 

difficult times, and lists of books that had a particular influence on him 

at various stages of his life, including grammar school, high school and 

college. 

My Reading Life is the story of the stories that helped create a master 

storyteller. Conroy is the author of several immensely popular books, 

including The Water is Wide, The Great Santini, The Prince of Tides and 

South of Broad.

E.O. Wilson 



In Anthill: A Novel (W.W. Norton, $24.95), 

world renowned biologist, E. O. Wilson, 

blends a lifetime of groundbreaking 

research into his first work of literary 

fiction. The story depicts the evolution of 

an ardent boy-naturalist enthralled by a 

mound-building ant species into a Harvardtrained 

lawyer. Publishers Weekly calls 

Anthill, “Lush with organic details.” A professor at Harvard University, Wilson 

has won more than one hundred awards around the world and is the author 

of more than twenty books, two of which have received Pulitzer Prizes 

for nonfiction. Anthill, a New York Times bestseller, has already won the 

Heartland Prize for Fiction, and will soon be made into a movie. 

In conversation with his editor, Robert Weil, executive editor and vice 

president at W. W. Norton & Company, Wilson will reflect on what caused 

him to write a novel, and how he feels that Anthill can inspire people to work 

for the preservation of our imperiled environment. 


Patti Smith 



Presented in collaboration with O, Miami: 

a poetry festival debuting in April 2011 (omiami.org). 

Patti Smith was a formative figure in 

the New York-based art-punk scene during 

the 1970s. In her memoir, Just Kids (Ecco, 

$27), Smith recounts her arrival in New 

York from her native Philadelphia during 

the summer of love — homeless, jobless 

and hungry, Smith would meet a young man named Robert Mapplethorpe. 

The two developed a deep and abiding love and respect for each other. 

Mapplethorpe’s death from AIDS in 1989 would end their time together, 

but not their connection. The Washington Post called the book, “beautifully 

written . . . a haunted elegy for both her soul mate Robert Mapplethorpe and 

a lost New York City.” 

Smith has recorded twelve albums and written several books, including 

the poetry collection Auguries of Innocence. Her seminal album, Horses, 

bearing Mapplethorpe’s renowned photograph, has been hailed as one 

of the top 100 albums of all time. In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture 

awarded Smith the prestigious title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres.

Climate and the Environment 

Saturday, Nov. 20 - 4 p.m., Room 7106 

Chaos brought on by global warming and a changing climate will kill millions and

It’s a weekend of fun that never has to end for children – as long as they keep reading.

A Celebration of Mexico and its Culture: The Bicentennial of 

the Mexican Independence and the Centennial of its Revolution 

The 27th Miami Book Fair International 

joins in celebrating Mexico’s Bicentennial 

and the Centennial of its 1910 Revolution 

by staging a Mexican Pavilion that will 

sponsor author presentations and literary 

discussions, art exhibits, traditional crafts, 

activities for children, music and food. 

Mexico is rich in history and culture, 

containing world-class museums and 

global treasures such as the Mayan Ruins 

in the Yucatan. When Spanish explorer 

Hernán Cortés arrived on Mexican soil 

in 1519, the Incas and Maya people had 

already built their civilizations, and he 

found a land filled with culture, customs 

and indigenous societies. Archaeologists 

have found evidence of people inhabiting 

Mexico 30,000 years ago. But the 

Spanish left their heritage, too, with such 

charming towns as San Miguel de Allende 

preserving historic architecture and art 

from the colonial period. 

In the last century, Mexico burst into 

the international art scene with its grand 

muralists, painters, poets and writers. 

Artists David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, 

José Clemente Orozco, Rufino Tamayo, Frida 

Kahlo and Francisco Toledo led the art 

world. Amongst the writers, is Octavio Paz, 

who won the Nobel Prize for Literature 

in 1990, and Carlos Fuentes, who this 

year returns to the Miami Book Fair for 

the first time since 1987. Fuentes has 

won an international following for his 

dozens of books, including The Campaign, 

which depicts Mexicans’ 1810 fight to 

win freedom from Spain, and The Old 

Gringo that focuses on the 1910 Mexican 

Revolution. The latter was made into a 

popular U.S. movie. 

The Miami Book Fair is also pleased to 

welcome other Mexican literary figures, 

including María Baranda, Rosa Beltrán, 

Mario Bellatín, Coral Bracho, Gonzalo 

Celorio, Ximena Escalante, Laura Esquivel, 

Bernardo Fernández, David Huerta, Estela 

Leñero, Víctor Mendiola, David Olguín, 

Pedro Ángel Palau, Enrique Serna and 

Natalia Toledo. 

Miami Book Fair International is proud 

to partner with the Division of External 

Affairs of the Mexican government, the 

National Council for the Arts and Culture 

in Mexico, the Mexican Consulate and 

the Mexican Cultural Institute and the 

Mexican Tourism Board in Miami to 

produce a festival that highlights the 

country’s literature, art, music, food and 

history. 

So enjoy a week of fun!

weaving, graphic arts, and paintings. 

Bicentenario-Itinerante-Empacado – by Jose Nuño

Join this monumental endeavor dedicated to bringing books to Florida

new books may be donated throughout the week of the Fair.

Conferencia Magistral - Boletos $10

maestro ha escrito novelas y ensayos, entre los que se destacan 

Aura, La muerte de Artemio Cruz, La región más transparente y 

Terra Nostra. Además, la pasión de Carlos Fuentes por el cine 

le ha llevado a escribir guiones, en algunas ocasiones de sus 

propias novelas. Fuentes regresa a la Feria después de 23 años 

con motivo de nuestra celebración de la literatura y cultura de 

México para hablarnos de su trayectoria como escritor, lo que 

lo ha convertido en invitado perenne de muchos prestigiosos 

eventos literarios y ferias de libros del mundo.

celebra el Bicentenario del inicio de su 

Independencia y el Centenario de la Revolución Mexicana. 

México es la nación hispanoparlante 

más grande del mundo, con una extensión 

de alrededor de 2 millones de kilómetros 

cuadrados y una población de más de 107

Según las investigaciones arqueológicas, 

sus primeros pobladores se asentaron en el

Hernán Cortés a tierras mexicanas en 1519, 

el español se encontró con una civilización 

rica en costumbres, cultura y organización. 

México es conocido en el mundo por 

su amplia y diversa cultura que tiene sus 

orígenes en la multiplicidad de etnias y 

lenguas de los grupos indígenas de la 

época prehispánica, mezclados luego de 

la colonización con la cultura española. 

La cerámica y la orfebrería en plata son 

algunos de los distintivos originales de su 

producción cultural que gozan de demanda 

popular en el mercado internacional. 

En el siglo XX la cultura mexicana alcanzó 

renombre internacional a través de grandes 

músicos, pintores, poetas y escritores. 

En las artes visuales figuras como los 

muralistas David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego 

Rivera, José Clemente Orozco y Rufino Tamayo, 

así como los pintores Frida Kahlo y Francisco 

Toledo han sorprendido al mundo con sus 

obras. En la escena musical, Carlos Chávez, 

Silvestre Revueltas, José Pablo Moncayo y Blas 

Galindo, entre muchos otros, han conmovido 

a múltiples generaciones. 

Los aportes de los escritores mexicanos 

a la literatura universal son de primer nivel 

con exponentes como Juan Rulfo, Amado 

Nervo, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Octavio Paz 

(Premio Nobel de Literatura 1990) y desde 

luego, el Maestro Carlos Fuentes. 

Este homenaje a México está concebido 

como una gran fiesta cultural donde 

el público podrá disfrutar de 

la presentación de autores, 

espectáculos, música, 

materiales audiovisuales, 

ventas de artesanías y 

comidas típicas, entre otras 

actividades.

Inauguración oficial del Pabellón México: 

Lunes 15 de Nov. a las 6 p.m. 

Plaza México 

3ra Calle esquina a 1ra Avenida del N.E.

Viernes 19 de Nov. – domingo 21 de Nov., 9:30 a.m. – 6 p.m. 

Agradecimiento 

La presencia de México en la Feria ha sido posible gracias al apoyo de: 

La espiral de libros 

más grande del mundo 

A manera de instalación artística, un grupo de artistas 

mexicanos levantará durante los días de la Feria una espiral 

gigante de libros frente a los ojos del público. Ellos aspiran 

a romper el récord de 10,090 ejemplares establecido por 

Proyecto IntegrArte en el zócalo de la Ciudad de 

México. Una vez superada esa marca, los 

libros serán donados a centros comunitarios 

y a cárceles de la Florida con el fin de 

que en éstas haya más libros que 

presos. Durante la Feria, del 14 al 21 de 

Noviembre, el público podrá entregar 

sus libros directamente en el Pabellón 

de México. 

Brindis al atardecer 

Los invitamos a que nos acompañen de martes a viernes 

a las 5:30 p.m. en el Salón 6100, Edif. 6, 1er piso, para 

disfrutar de botanas, antojitos, picadas y bebidas 

típicas mexicanas, cortesía del Instituto Cultural 

y del Consejo de Promoción Turística de México 

en Miami y admirar las imágenes de Armando 

Herrera, el fotógrafo de las estrellas.
