Review: It's good to see this new reprint of Paul Taylor's great memoir on sale. It would be a tragedy if this magnificient book were to become unavailable.

In many ways this book is like a great Taylor dance. Filled with light and shade, humor and sadness, affirmation and mockery. There is also a sense that much has been only hinted at. But whatever might be missing, there is great joy in what is present.

This is the story of Paul Taylor's life, his work, his fiends, his creative passions. It is well-writtten and understated, and filled with delicious stories and wonderful surprises.

Probably most people who love his work have read it already. But this book is so good, that a knowledge of his work is not really necessary to appreciate it. It's a glorious look into a wonderful creative mind, and never dull.
