I just posted on Amazon a review of Nureyev: The Life by Julie Kavanagh.
You can read that review here (see below) --
and here, at the Amazon link --
Remarkable book!
Also posting some related photos.
Here's the review:
=====================================
Mortality Sucks!
It's ultimately a great book on the theme of "Mortality Sucks!" -- a book about one of the most beautiful men in the world -- one of the most beautiful artists in the world -- ends up a shrunken wizened mess dying of AIDS in a Paris hospital room. Rudolf Nureyev died on January 6, 1993 -- the last words anyone ever heard him speak were "Moby-Dick" -- which he spoke in his hospital room while watching that movie on his tv -- he died two months later -- without ever speaking another word.
These were the words of Mikhail Baryshnikov (read by Jack Lang) at Nureyev's funeral -- "He had the charisma and the simplicity of a man of the earth and the untouchable arrogance of the gods."
Heck yeah! I cried at the end of this book. And I bet most anybody would! Rudolf Nureyev was such a hot sexy complex man -- incredible life and incredible beauty!
Remarkable book -- Nureyev: The Life by Julie Kavanagh -- highly recommend!
