A&E

Fall is here, and apparently so is the perfect excuse to fill our shelves with a little more magic, romance and danger. This week’s picks bring fae, fierce heroines, complicated love stories and, yes, plenty of yearning.

The backdrop for Mexican singer-songwriter Silvana Estrada’s last performance in Miami could not have been more dramatic. It was a brunchtime show at the 2023 Ground Up Festival on a sofa-strewn second floor with huge plate glass windows looking out at the beach. As Estrada sang, accompanied only by her Venezuelan cuatro, rain poured down in torrents behind her, waves the size of semi-trucks crashed ashore and palm fronds stood out sideways from their trunks, whipped from the north by tropical storm-force winds. Both the singer and the weather gods put on a spellbinding performance.

Young British filmmaker George Jaques has assembled one of the best queer casts for his second full-length feature “Sunny Dancer” (Quiver). It’s a movie that, despite also prominently featuring the music of Scissor Sisters, is not in the least bit queer.

There’s something exciting about walking into a comic shop and finding a first issue that makes you want to follow a whole new team. If you missed DC’s September launches of Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and The Doom Patrol, you’re getting another chance: all three debut issues return to comic shops Nov. 4 with new cover art.

It would be inexcusable to write about LGBTQ+ recordings and exclude the limited-edition reissue of “’Howl’ and Other Poems” (Craft Recording) by legendary gay poet Allen Ginsberg, pressed on “eco-friendly green blend vinyl” and re-released to commemorate Ginsberg’s centennial (he was born June 3, 1926, and passed in 1987).
