Harcourt just sent me the following e-mail about All in the Dances: A Brief Life of George Balanchine:
ALL IN THE DANCES receives a STARRED review in the October 1 Kirkus:
“The writing is graceful, with a judicious use of primary sources, and
Teachout movingly conveys his love for Balanchine’s art in a short text
that makes no pretense to be the last word but fulfills its author’s
intention that it serve as a layperson’s introduction. The perfect first
book to read about Balanchine, and intelligent enough to have value for
more knowledgeable admirers as well.”
Whooee!
