"This is the time of year when Miami (the effects reach us all) is overwhelmed by another horde of pop-culture "stars" (psst: we haven't heard of most of them either), with their big-city ways (that may be how they do it in London, but ...), incomprehensible language (can they just use plain English?), exotic stimulants (what's even in oolong?) and provocative fashion (the ambivalence is shocking)."
"The Miami Book Fair kicks off on Sunday at Miami Dade College's downtown Wolfson Campus for a run through Nov. 23, culminating in the signature three-day street fair beginning Nov. 21. Perhaps even more so this year, the depth and diversity of writers and voices coming in to take part are a distinctive achievement for the organizers and should be a point of pride for South Florida residents."
