Title: Brilliant writing elicits life at the passionate edge
Review: First, the writing in this book is as breathtaking as actually seeing Rudi dance--and I have. This book is NOT for the linear/literal minded. James Joyceian, fluid, associate language alternates with standard sentence format, and the combination brings alive the passions and personalities of Nureyev's life. In this book he appears as the larger-than-life character he really was. I have recommended this book to SO many people, and haven't had a disappointment yet. Please ignore the reviews of those who are judging this book by their own fixed expectations of what a book about a dancer should be. This novelized bio is more true than any group of literal facts.
