White Swan, Black Swan: Stories
- List Price: $21.95
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Random House Trade
- Publish date: 06/01/2001
Each bittersweet story plants the reader amid a cast of dancers and choreographers who struggle -- valiantly, playfully, fiercely -- to find in the rigorous discipline and animating beauty of ballet a counterbalance to the chaos of unscripted life. Many of the tales dare to imagine the inner lives of the century's titans -- Balanchine, Fonteyn and Nureyev -- which rival in emotional complexity and pathos the classic dramas they enacted onstage: La Bayadere, Don Quixote, Swan Lake.
Title TK translates the pure and essential gestures of ballet into starkly elegant prose while showing the sweat and sex beneath the serene surface. Adrienne Sharp's debut is a bravura performance.
