Facts and Fancies

By Paul Taylor, foreword by Robert Gottlieb, introduction by Suzanne Carbonneau

This wonderful new book by one of the preeminent dancers and choreographers consists of a range of pieces of fact and fiction that run from thoughts on friendliness and country living to animosity and city life. Taylor’s first book since his autobiography (Private Domain, 1995, Alfred A. Knopf), is a romp through the playful mind of Taylor, with chapter titles such as: Why I Make Dances., The Redheaded Spiritualist, Martha Close Up, Clytemnestra, and How to Tell Ballet from Modern, and In the Marcel Proust Suite of L’Hotel Continental.

FACTS & FANCIES is published in a beautiful trade paperback with French flaps and several drawings by the author.
