Written records of Alonsorsquo;s work are scarce; yet Toba Singerrsquo;s quest to spotlight his seminal role in the development of the modern ballet canon yields key material: pre-blockade tapes from Lincoln Center; Spanish-language sources from the Museum of Dance in Havana; and interviews with the ballet master himself alongside a broad range of friends; relatives; and collaborators from throughout his long career; including his ex-wife; Alicia; a famous ballerina in her own right.

Review
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Badly written.By Roger MexicoIm a sucker for anything about Kubrick and his works. But be warned - IMHO this is one of the most atrociously written and edited books Ive come across in some time. Reminds me of gasping in revulsion at what a horrible writer Dan Brown is. Plenty of editorial lapses; hardly proof-read it seems. The author redundantly states the same ideas over and over within the same paragraph. Even her quotes; from Kubrick and others; seem incredible - did Stanley actually express himself in such an inane manner? Ill go ahead and slog my way through this thing; hoping she has some interesting insights on Kubricks major last films; but yow! shes giving me a headache!
