Introduction to Miami Book Fair 2012

Lord help us, they have posted the confirmed authors for the 2012 Miami Book Fair International. Look upon it, and weep. For we shall not be able to attend  one tenth, nay, one percent  of the presentations--and they are pretty much all good. All 418 of them. This is ridiculous. Have they never heard of moderation?

Anyway, to be serious for a second. I'm psyched about the possibility of seeing Tom Wolfe, even though his book is not getting great reviews (understatement). I always read his books and if they are sometimes disappointing I forgive him because he gave us Bonfire of the Vanities and "The Painted Word."

I'm glad to see two of my favorite "brat pack" actors on the list, Molly Ringwald and Andrew McCarthy. Surely they will be on the same panel and that will be entertaining.

Mark Vonnegut--I read his first memoir The Eden Express, a long time ago. It was good. I've read a lot of books by and about people with mental illness. I'll definitely read his latest, which apparently deals with bipolar disorder. And what's this about a "Vonnegut panel" and a book of Kurt Vonnegut letters? Interesting...

Dave Barry--CONFIRMED. Yay. I have his book, Lunatics, and I've read it, but it isn't signed, so there's that possibility. And I look forward to the Rock Bottom Remainders, always a highlight.
