artistic ballet great perpetual remains
City Ballet remains a great company in perpetual artistic crisis.
anniversary asked city decided fair great life loved opinions piece spent strong vanity york
In 1998, Vanity Fair asked me to write a big piece for them on the 50th anniversary of the New York City Ballet. My life, to a great extent, had been spent at and with the New York City Ballet, and I decided to try it. It was very scary, writing about something I loved so much and had such strong opinions about.
great
The finest chroniclers of the great and the near-great have often been courtiers - the Duc de Saint-Simon, for instance, or Lady Murasaki.
activities born carried dickens died energies fifteen great insatiable prevail produced social vast work
Dickens was born in 1812 and died in 1870, having produced fifteen novels, many of which can confidently be called great, as well as having accomplished outstanding work in activities into which his insatiable need to expend his vast energies - to achieve, to prevail - carried him: journalism, editing, acting, social reform.
great terrific
The Kirov is a great ballet company because it has so many terrific dancers, but it doesn't always know what to do with them.
age died great king singing
Of the great singing stars of the 1940s and '50s, only one - Nat King Cole - died young, at age 45.
prodigy work
If you like being battered, the work of Savion Glover - one-time child prodigy - should be up your alley. I don't, and it isn't up mine.
leaves
'The Leaves Are Fading' had something of a vogue when Antony Tudor made it in 1975, largely because of Gelsey Kirkland's ravishing performance.
matthew turned
I hated Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake' when it first turned up, and then when it was televised, and then when it returned.
books case says writer
It's often the case that the most strained moments in books are the very beginning and the very end - the getting in and the getting out. The ending, especially: it's awkward, as if the writer doesn't know when the book is over and nervously says it all again.
infant
Ladies: You have to support an infant with a hand under its head.
except resonance
'Ocean's Kingdom' is a fairy story with no subtext, no resonance - it's not about anything except its water-logged plot.
authors both bring exciting format forth terrific writers
In my view, the ebook world for both established and new authors is a terrific new and exciting format. It is a format that will bring forth many new writers to publishing.
authors directly problem selling
I have no problem selling ebooks for authors directly as an agent, but partnering with them is another matter.
