Somewhere: the life of Jerome Robbins.
Author: Vaill, Amanda Published: 2006 To some, Jerome Robbins was a demanding perfectionist, a driven taskmaster, a theatrical visionary; to others he was a loyal friend, a supportive mentor, and a generous and entertaining companion and colleague. Guarded and adamantly private, he was an inveterate and painfully honest journal writer who confided his innermost thoughts to a remarkable series of diaries and memoirs. In the pages of this definitive biography, Amanda Vaill takes full measure of this complex and tortured man, drawing on thousands of pages of Robbins' personal and professional papers, to which she was granted unfettered access, as well as other archives and hundreds of interviews. |
