Literary Death Match

In case you didn't know, literary circles can run pretty tight. As tight as a death grip. You may have missed some bloodbaths at the Book Fair, because the writers locked horns in the Miami Book Fair International's Battle Royale. Four local writers read their most compelling works in a series of rounds, followed by a barrage of commentary by three judges. The finale is always somewhat of a surprise, but you'd enjoy the novelty. Starts at 8pm tonight at The Swamp, which is always a good time. [Miami New Times]
