Starred review from September 11, 2006
Robbins (1918–1998) was the choreographic genius behind the 1957 Broadway hit West Side Story
and other musical classics, in addition to such great ballets as Fancy Free
and Dances at a Gathering
. Vaill (Everybody Was So Young: Gerald and Sara Murphy: A Lost Generation Love Story
) was given unprecedented access to Robbins's personal papers after his death, and the result is a critically sophisticated biography that's as compulsively readable as a novel. As she traverses Robbins's growth as an artist, his ambivalence about his Jewish heritage, his bisexuality and his relationships with other artists from Balanchine, to Bernstein to Baryshnikov, she writes with both passion and compassion. More than Deborah Jowitt in her recent Robbins bio, Vaill delves into Robbins's personal life, quoting frequently from his diary and letters. But the result isn't salacious; rather, it allows a more vibrant and vital rendering of the man. Known for being very harsh on dancers, Robbins was called everything from "genius
and difficult
to tyrant
and sadist
," says Vaill, "yet the work... was marked by an ineffable sweetness and tenderness." In her balanced, sensitive portrait of an American theatrical genius, Vaill captures these contradictions elegantly. The book is essential reading for lovers of theater and dance.
