Julie Kavanagh distills the fabulous spirit of Nureyev, the ballet world's first pop icon. --Vanity Fair Ferociously concrete, ambitious, profligate, shocking and soaring. . . . Nureyev is easily the best biography of the year. --The Philadelphia Inquirer The definitive biography of ballet's greatest star whose ego was as supersized as his talent. --Tina Brown A treasure trove for those intrigued by Nureyev the dancer, filled with thoughtful reflections on his technique, details of his roles, and of his encounters with ballet greats. --Seattle Times Kavanagh chronicles [Nureyev] with even-mindedness and original research and a mastery of detail. . . . And that is what we get: not a tell-all, but a tell-everything. --The New York Observer
