Miami Author and Music Critic David Rolland on His Novel The End of the Century

By David RollandApril 18, 2018

Everyone thinks their hometown is unique, and everyone is probably right. But as any regular reader of Miami New Times can attest, our city is a special kind of odd. It’s the kind of place where the richest of the rich, the poorest of the poor, the most uptight, and the most laid-back are all melting in the same impossible heat.

By Liz TracyApril 13, 2018

Growing up, María José Arjona had no interest in becoming a visual artist. The Bogotá native was a ballet dancer who began training when she was 6 years old, until her practice was cut short by an accident that broke her knee. “I became scared of falling,” Arjona says. “And when you’re afraid of falling and you’re a dancer, it’s a bad sign.”

By Bilge EbiriApril 13, 2018

Although the film might seem a departure for her — and at least in terms of budget, it certainly is — watching it, I felt that Dosunmu had connected to something elemental within Pfeiffer, that solitude that brought subtle dimension to her earlier, more famous roles
