dark emotional hopeful informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.0

this book had such beautiful writing that demanded it be read slowly, while i wanted to read it voraciously. i appreciated that each chapter gradually crystallized to explore a clear overarching theme, from sex, pain, power, and the abuses of old white male choreographers such as balanchine. i didn’t know a lot about ballet before reading this book, as i don’t consider myself to be a dancer or an athlete, but appreciated learning more about the psychology of dancers and the insular world they exist within.
