Description

An intensely personal, under-the-skin depiction of ballet’s greatest hero. Carolyn Soutar worked with Nureyev at the London Coliseum during the 1980s, & her biography focuses on a 6-year period of his life when the career of this once phenomenal dancer, who began to call himself “Old Galoshes” in recognition of his fading powers, was drawing to a close. From his close friends we learn of Nureyev’s changes from a young man eager to learn, searching for perfection in a body he believed to be flawed, to the knowledgeable & difficult superstar that he would become. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, yet always deeply human, this is an intimate insider’s story of the ballet icon. Color photos.
