Under The Sun

For a second year, the Florida Book Review staff (made up mostly of MFA students from FIU) will be live-blogging from the Miami Book Fair International. Their first post is up: a report from Margaret Atwood’s talk on Sunday.

If this year’s blog is like last year’s, it will be a trenchant mix of event observations (“Dave Barry + Frank McCourt = Hilarity”), street-level observations (“If Miami were a comic book hero, its super power would be striking people down with heat stroke”) and audience contributions through the Blogging Gator (a box where they collect comments).

Look for the Blogging Gator this weekend at the Gulf Stream Magazine/Miami Poetry Collective booth. And while you’re there, stop by the WLRN booth, where you can pick up information about Under the Sun and contribute queries to our “What’s Up With South Florida” feature.
