As part of what she calls ''evangelizing for literature,'' the author of the beloved novels The Bean Trees and The Poisonwood Bible told a full house Monday night at Miami Book Fair International that ''the real beating heart of democracy is the place people love books. I salute you for your love of reading.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/news/5min/story/1325221.html http://www.miamiherald.com/news/5min/story/1325221.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST A U.S.-brokered accord that was supposed to return ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya to power has collapsed.

And to create more and stronger entrepreneurs, the logic goes, you need to know what you are looking for. But how much is really known about the mind-set of the entrepreneur? http://www.miamiherald.com/business/story/1322850.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/story/1322850.html Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:00 EST In the waiting room, the patient's family members circled a Blackberry.

Like the Haitian liberator Toussaint L'ouverture, another historical figure Bell has written about, Forrest was a self-taught military genius. Irregular tactics and hellish courage made him one of the most successful and colorful leaders of the Civil War. His casus belli was not only the noble-sounding notion of states' rights. A millionaire slave trader, he had literal skin in the game. Still, readers may have trouble disliking him. Bell has imbued this controversial hero with qualities that offset his sins. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/1325222.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/1325222.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Ian Pearl once feared a tracheal tube inserted into his throat would render him voiceless.<p/> But he got his voice back -- and then some.<p/> He's using it now to bring attention to the issue of discriminatory health insurance practices against the disabled. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/1324962.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/1324962.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST These days, when literature springs from mere experience and memoirs are justified by a change in eating habits, it seems fitting to remark on the heritage of Lydia Davis.

He taught literature at Harvard (where he urged Norman Mailer to submit his first short story to Story magazine), Smith (where he taught Sylvia Plath) and Columbia. He died in 1998. Davis' mother was also a writer, an active feminist and communist. She died in 2004. Davis was married to Paul Auster. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/1324963.html http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/1324963.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST ''I have just read Francine Prose's Anne Frank: The Book, The Life, The Afterlife. This is an amazing book. It pulls together into one volume with great order and clarity much of what has been written about both Anne Frank and the publication of her diary over the years, but also (and most importantly, I think) focuses on Anne Frank as an accomplished writer who with great skill and talent edited herself in a way that makes clear her aspirations as someone who wanted her work to be published and read. As one of the many thousands upon millions of girls who was fixated on and obsessed with Anne Frank early in life -- finding in her work great inspiration as a writer and as a human, I was thrilled to find Prose's book. This is thorough, thoughtful, beautifully written.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/people/story/1325228.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/people/story/1325228.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Pop singer Alejandro Sanz's last record, El Tren de los Momentos, came out three years ago amid a slew of troubles for the Spanish heartthrob: his father died; he divorced his wife, Mexican model Jaydy Michel, mother of his daughter Manuela; a couple who worked at Sanz's Miami Beach home were accused of blackmailing him with information that he had a son in an affair; and Sanz had a nervous breakdown that forced a months-long hiatus in a concert tour. http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/people/story/1325229.html http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/people/story/1325229.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Just a day after performing at the Latin Grammy Awards in Sin City, singer David Bisbal was spotted walking the red carpet at the Spain-United States Chamber of Commerce's 30th annual gala at the Biltmore on Friday night.
