Book Reviews of Perpetual Motion: The Public and Private Lives of Rudolf Nureyev
Book Review: Dancing On His Own Grave
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the pleasure of seeing him dance in London with Dame Margot in 'Swan Lake' in 1970. I even got someone who worked backstage to ask him to sign my program. Which he did. The heavyset lighting man chuckled as he returned the program to me. Here Luv, he said. Rudolph signed this for ya. I told 'em you were pretty and Rudy said; All my fans are pretty. Boys and girls. Wow! Talk about memories! To love him and his dancing as I did all those years, and then watch him slowly waste away was heartbreaking to me. This book opened a door on Nureyev I never knew about. His sexual addition. Had AIDS not come about, he would still be with us. There are reasons why there are rules in life. When you cast them to the wind, you reap the whirlwind. You cannot live like he did and not have repercussions one way or another. A wonderful book. A sad ending for such a magnificent man.
