The Miami Book Fair opens. “This year, 365 authors from 30 countries are participating in the eight-day fair that began on Sunday and runs until next Sunday on the downtown campus of Miami-Dade College and on the streets surrounding it. There will be readings in five languages – English, Spanish, Portuguese, Creole and French – and about half a million people are expected to attend. More than 30 writers were turned away because the full schedule could not accommodate them, organizers said.”
