Miami Book Fair To Discuss National Book Award Honorees

The Miami Book Fair will host a discussion focused on National Book Award 2020 semifinalist How We Got To The Moon: The People, Technology, and Daring Feats of Science Behind Humanity’s Greatest Adventure on Nov. 7 via CrowdCast.

The series—started in September—will host additional book discussions on Nov. 14, Dec. 14 and Dec. 15 at 1 p.m. featuring the 10 National Book Award semifinalists.

They will talk about the books’ overarching themes. The authors of the books will also join the discussions to explain specific parts of the books. 

“We wanted to give a spotlight to all the 10 longlisted titles to start a conversation about these books and to give people an insight and close discussion to each title,” said Ismery Pavon, the Miami Book Fair’s program coordinator.

The event is free and open to the public, even if attendees have not read the books.
