Cool events-related thing in the Miami New Times,:
“If you missed Crucet’s reading at this year’s Miami Book Fair, don’t worry—you weren’t alone. The room filled up so fast with people wanting to hear the Miami-born and -bred author that a lot of us were turned away at the door. This Monday at 8 p.m., we finally get a second chance. Crucet will read from her award-winning debut short story collection, How to Leave Hialeah, at Books & Books in the Gables. The 11 stories in How to Leave Hialeah are pure Miami from start to finish—beginning in South Beach, crossing the gulf to Cuba, and ending up—where else?—in that neighborhood where the streets always flood and every canal is supposedly filled with alligators. Crucet is a great reader and knows, like, every single person in the county, so it would be wise to show up to the House That Mitchell Kaplan Built a little early. It’ll give you a chance to secure your copy of the book, because we guarantee there won’t be any left at the end.”
