As the nation’s largest public book fair opens in downtown Miami, Lissette Mendez, a principal organizer of the Miami Book Fair, produced by The Center for Literature and Theatre at Miami Dade College, gives CCC’s Chris Kenneally an insider’s preview. Authors scheduled to appear throughout the week include Tom Wolfe, Jeffrey Toobin, and Isabel & Ruben Toledo.
