Yesterday I went to the last day of the Miami Book Fair. I saw a panel discussion with George Packer on Interesting Times: Writings from a Turbulent Decade, Chris Hedges on Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle and Sam Tanenhaus on The Death of Conservatism. I also caught 3 speakers of the panel with Edna Buchanan, James Grippando and Heather Graham.I even bought a book by Pulitzer Prize winning author Chris Hedges (pictured). Pictured on the Book Fair website were locals Don and Nina Weber Worth:
Book Fair Intro: "They have lived in Miami Beach for the past fifteen years, actively participating in preservation issues. They spearheaded the Miami Modern (MiMo) photography exhibit that was shown at New York City’s Municipal Art Society in 2002. More recently, they were honorary co-chairs of “East Meets West: Art Deco from Miami to Shanghai” for Art Deco Weekend 2007. They are the conceptual producers of the coffee table book Art Deco in Shanghai and Miami Beach."
Don Worth is also a leader in the preservation of Miami Marine Stadium.
