Itheko ibiliqela lombhali le I-Miami Book Fair yamazwe aphesheya , umnyhadala weveki isingathwa ngu Ikholeji yaseMiami Dade (MDC) kunye Iincwadi kunye neencwadi , amaziko amabini enkcubeko kwiMagic City. Umsitho, ogqunywe ngu I-PBS kwaye I-C-SPAN , ngowona mnyhadala mkhulu weencwadi zasekuhlaleni e-U.S.
Ngu 10 lothisikhumbuzo sencwadi yam yokuqala, kunye nomboniso wam wokuqala [Miami], UMarlon james undixelele. Ukusukela oko kubonakala okokuqala, ebebuyile amatyeli asixhenxe. Ngo-Okthobha, uMnu.James wawongwa ngeBhaso loMntu oBhukisha incwadi yenoveli yakhe Imbali emfutshane yokuBulawa kwabasixhenxe .
Ngaphezulu kweentsuku ezisibhozo zokulunga, abanye abathengi abangama-250,000 bathontelana kwizitrato zedolophu yaseMiami ukuva ababhali abangaphezu kwama-700, kubandakanya uMitch Albom, uJoyce Carol Oates kunye no-Amy Tan, kunye neempawu zenkcubeko ezinjengoPatti Smith, Paul Giamatti, Jesse Eisenberg , UTed Koppel, uTom Brokaw noRosie Perez, baxoxa ngemisebenzi yabo yamva nje.

Umnumzana James wayeyithanda iMiami Book Fair ngenxa yomoya wayo owahlukileyo. Ayibalulekanga ngokwasemzimbeni, ucacisile, esenza isibane kwizibane ezibengezelayo ezibonisa iBiscayne Bay kunye nesihlwele esinxibe ngokungakhathali esonwabela ii-cocktails zangaphandle ngo-Novemba, kodwa ngenxa kaMitch.
UMitch unesiphiwo sokukhetha ababhali abaza kuza abangakhange babenze bakhulu, kodwa abagqibela ngokuba 'yinto enkulu elandelayo,' utshilo uMnu. James, echaza ubuchule besiporidi njengokwazi.
IHLABATHI LAKHE
UMitch ekubhekiswa kuye ngu UMitchell Kaplan , umnini weeNcwadi kunye neeNcwadi. I-Miami Book Fair yamazwe aphesheya yingqondo yakhe, ekhulelwe ngokudibeneyo noGqr. UEduardo Padron , Umongameli weMDC.
Ndacela uMnu Kaplan ukuba achaze iimvakalelo zakhe malunga nababhali. Kunzima ukutsho, waqala. Andinamdla wokwakha uluhlu lwezonqulo. Ndithathela ingqalelo ilizwi lombhali kwaye ndizama ukuhluza ii-poseurs.
Imbewu yalo mboniso ihlwayelwe ngelixa uMnu Kaplan wayenesidanga sokuqala kwiDyunivesithi yaseColorado, eBoulder. Waqonda ukuba umhlaba uphela ukhona ngaphaya kweplastiki yelizwe lakhe laseMiami Beach, elinabantu abaninzi abaneencwadi. Nditsaleleke kwinguqu yokuguquguquka. Ndifuna ukudala ihlabathi lam, wandixelela, ukuba kuyavakala.
Yayisengqiqweni loo nto. Ngaphambi kweminyaka emithathu edlulileyo, andizange ndicinge ngokundwendwela eMiami, ndingasathethi ke ngokuhlala apha, ukanti kulapho ndazifumana khona. Khange ndikwazi tu ukwenza ingqiqo ngesi sixeko-ukungayithethi into endihamba-kodwa hayi emva kweenyanga ezimbini ndifikile, ndaya kwi-Miami Book Fair yam yokuqala. Yayitshintsha izinto.
Xa ndibuzwa ukuba ndihleli ixesha elingakanani eMiami, andiphenduli ngokweminyaka, kodwa ngokwemihlangano yeencwadi.
Kufana nokuba nini USandra Cisneros wadibana neqhawe lakhe, umqambi we-tango kunye nomdlali we-bandoneon u-Astor Piazzola, kwikhonsathi, elandela ixesha elinzima ebomini bakhe. Kwiphaneli yombhali ngoMgqibelo, UNks Cisneros wabelane ngamava, ebalisa kwimemo yakhe, Indlu eyeyam: Amabali kubomi bam . Unovalo lokuthetha nemvumi, ucinga ngento angathanda ukuyithetha:
I-Astor, umculo wakho undonwabisile ngenxa yokuphoxeka okuninzi, ngokuqhuma kweicigars zothando, ngokufa kufutshane, ngokufa kwam nokuvuka kwam. Ndihambile ndaya kuzifumana xa ndimamele umculo wakho… Astor, undifundise ngomculo wakho uhlobo lomdlandla endifuna ukuwufikelela emsebenzini wam… Xa ndandibanda ndisoyika, ndingoyiki…
I-Astor, yonke into ibisemculweni wakho, i-nemesis endiyithandayo endishiyileyo, kwaye njani kuloo nto ivulekileyo, benditshintshe i-yelp ukuba ibe sisikhalo, kwaye ukubhomboloza ibingumsebenzi wam, ophefumlelwe nguwe, Astor.
Abaphulaphuli bahleka xa uNkskz. Cisneros esithi ukholelwa ukuba oyena mqambi mvumi mculo mkhulu wayeze edolophini ezomdlalela. Ndamqonda ukuba wayengenguye u-hyperbolic.
I-Fair Miami Book Fair yayiyimpikiswano yokuba uhlale eMiami? engakholelekiyo UPaul Holdengraber , umlawuli we HLALA ukusuka kwi-NYPL , undibuze, ndicaphula oko bendisandula ukumxelela kona. Ndiqinisekisile njalo, emva koko ndachaza ukuba xa ndibuzwa ukuba ndihleli ixesha elingakanani eMiami, andiphenduli ngokweminyaka, kodwa ngokwemihlangano yeencwadi. Njengangoku, bendilapha kwimiboniso emithathu yencwadi.
NGAPHANDLE KWESIXEKO SEDAYAPA

NgoMgqibelo ebusuku, ukuphonononga amanqaku axelelwe kwifowuni yam, ndifumene impazamo embi. Kwakubonakala ngathi ifowuni ibhalise isixeko se-diaper kwiindawo ezininzi.
ndithetha ukuthi iyantlukwano.
Emva kwexesha ndiye ndabona ukuba le yinto eqhelekileyo yokufundwa gwenxa. I-Miami ihlala ithathwa njengesixeko esine-diaper kwaye iyaqhubeka nokwenza iziqhulo ezininzi ngaphandle kokubaluleka kwayo okukhulayo njengemarike ebala ubume bamanye amazwe kunye nokwahluka phakathi kweempahla zayo ezinamandla. Umzekelo, inyani yokuba kwisikhululo senqwelomoya yeyesibini ngobukhulu eMelika kubagibeli bamazwe aphesheya kwaye inamba yokuqala yothutho lomoya kumazwe aphesheya ayibonakali koku kucinywayo.
Ngelixa ezinye iinkalo zoqoqosho lwayo, umlamli waseMiami angathi, Owu, kodwa iMiami sisixeko esincinci, usana xa kuthelekiswa neendawo ezimiselweyo njengeNew York, kwimeko yencwadi elungileyo, oku ngekhe kusebenze. IMiami Book Fair International ingama-32 kulo nyaka-indala ngokwaneleyo ukuba ingavota, isele, irente imoto, kwaye isebenze njengomzekelo kwezinye iidolophu.
Ngemizamo yakhe yobuvulindlela, uMnu. Kaplan wawongwa nge Ibhaso leNcwadi leSizwe leMbasa yaBomi boPhumeleleyo bonke Ukulandela eli wonga, abo bafumanayo kuquka u-Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Maya Angelou no-Dave Eggers, uMnu Kaplan balungiselela ukuzisa abokugqibela IiMbasa zeSizwe zeNcwadi (I-NBA), eyenzeka kwiveki enye neMiami Book Fair, ukuya kwi-Sunshine State.
Lo ibingunyaka wesibini amabhaso abalulekileyo abambe umsitho eMiami. Umlawuli olawulayo ophumayo we-NBA uHarold Augenbraum wandixelela ukuba kunokuba ibe ngumboniso wezorhwebo, umnyhadala wencwadi kaMiami ngumbhiyozo wokwenene ekuhlaleni wokufunda, udibanisa ababhali kunye nabafundi ngokufanayo.
Isakhono sokwenza ezi ntlobo zonxibelelwano, njengoko uMnu Holdengraber endixelele, i-mitzvah.
'Miami sisixeko samazwe aphesheya esinababhali bamanye amazwe. Oku kuvumela ukuba kwenzeke iincoko ze-polyglot. '
I-Miami's internationalism yondla ubomi bayo boncwadi. Ngo-2015, ITHEMBA , indibano yocweyo yokubhala eyahlukeneyo yababhali bombala, isuse isiseko sayo sasekhaya ukusuka eSan Francisco Bay saya kwi KwiYunivesithi yaseMiami (UM). Miami sisixeko samazwe aphesheya esinababhali bamanye amazwe. Oku kuvumela ukuba incoko ye-polyglot enomdla yenzeke, utshilo M. Evalina Galang , Umlawuli wokubhala woyilo kwi-UM.
Kwiphaneli yeVONA, ababhali bezise abafundi ePalestine, kwiiPhilippines, kwiRiphabhlikhi yaseCzech, kwiiNtaba zeUral naseCuba. Ngelixa ukwandisa iindawo ezihlala uluntu sisibonelelo esinye samaziko afana neVONA kunye neMiami Book Fair, okona kubaluleke kakhulu, njengoko kuchaziwe nguNks. Galang, ukudala indawo yokuphindaphindeka kwesazisi kuvumela intetho ephucukileyo- edlulileyo inqaku lokufuna imvume amazwi athile okuthetha, kunye novavanyo olunzulu lobugcisa.
Kodwa iyantlukwano ibhekisa ngaphezu kwencasa yelizwe jikelele enobulungisa. Ukuphumelela amabhaso ePulitzer umbhali kunye nalo nyaka I-NBA umamkeli UAdam Johnson undixelele ukuba into ayifumene ibetha malunga nomsitho kukukwazi ukudibanisa ezona ncwadi ziphambili kunye noluntu lwasekhaya. Uye wabhekisa kwinkqubo elungileyo yomthetho kwiincwadi zabantwana nakwiinoveli zemizobo, phakathi kwabanye.
Kuba INew York Times Umhleli woHlolo lweNcwadi Pamela Paul Kunye nombhali UAmy Tan -Igqala leMiami Book Fair eligibisele ikhonsathi evuselelayo njengenxalenye yeqela lamatye Izikhumbuzo zeRock Bottom -Ukubona ababhali abohlukeneyo benxibelelana kwaye bephendula imisebenzi yabanye kwakubaluleke ngokukodwa. Ndinomdla woku kulungileyo njengomfundi, wandixelela, kunokuba abe yingcali kushishino.
Olu tyelelo lwam lwesibini kulo mboniso weencwadi. Emva kwexesha lam lokuqala, ndenza injongo yam ukumenywa kwakhona.
UKUSETYENZISWA KWENTLIZIYO
Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo umsitho uququzelela intetho ekwinqanaba eliphezulu, kodwa ukubaluleka kwawo kuyavakala ngaphaya koko. Ukudibana neencwadi kukuhambisa amava, ngokungafaniyo nothando, okanye usizi. Ephendula umbuzo wabaphulaphuli kule nyewe, UNks Cisneros uthi xa umntu elila, intliziyo yakhe ivulekile, njengokuvuleka kwekhamera. Ukufikelela kolo luvulo, uthi, yile nto umbhali azabalazela ixesha ngalinye ebeka amagama kwiphepha.
Inqaku lokuvula kulapho abafundi bahanjiswa ziincwadi, kunye noluntu olwenziwe lwangqongileyo. Okanye, njenge UMary Karr uthe ngoMgqibelo, Enye indlela esidibana ngayo lulwimi. Malunga isihobe, uthando lwakhe lokuqala, uthi ukuba zobugcisa. Uthatha inkanuko yomnye umntu okanye ukubandezeleka kwaye uthathe inyama yenyama yakho kwaye utshintshwe yiyo.
Kumthendeleko, sonke siba luluntu. Silapha sonke, ngapha koko, kuba singabafundi.
