Annual Jewish Book Festival Picks

Bookstores and books are about as common in Miami as snowshoes, but for a few short weeks in November Miami will become book country with a bevy of author and book-related events. Overlapping a a few days with the Miami Book Fair, the Annual Jewish Book Festival takes place October 24-November 14 and has some pretty good events on the docket. Beyond the usual Holocaust-related stuff that bogs down Jewish festivals of every type (I'm looking at you, Jewish Film Festivals), this one features a nice showing of young Jewish writers including the snarky duo behind Jewtopia and the talented Dara Horn.
