About to embark on reading 3 books at a time... I think I can handle a dance book right now; to take me into the Fall season with adding
A DANCE AGAINST TIME by Diane Solway. The brief, brilliant life of a Joffrey Dancer.
The first backstage look at the Joffrey Ballet, A DANCE AGAINST TIME is also the unflinching chronicle of an average American family dealing with AIDS. Illustrated throughout with dramatic personal photographs, A DANCE AGAINST TIME draws on exclusive interviews with Eddie Stierle's family, Joffrey colleagues, friends, and lovers, and Eddie's own journals and letters. Diane Solway has written a moving, powerful book about creativity and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. (From the back cover)
