"A beautiful, floating novel about Nureyev's life and art." --The New York Times Book Review "Exuberant and exhilarating . . . A brilliant leap of imagination." --San Francisco Chronicle "The goal of a book like this is to catch the spirit of the person and his age. It's a tall order, and one that Dancer pulls off brilliantly." --The Seattle Times "Fascinating . . . A triumph of voice . . . McCann's fluid lyricism brilliantly conveys Nureyev's towering professional achievement and the wasteland of his personal life." --Newsday "A monumental life . . . Stylistically, Dancer is a leap itself." --Los Angeles Times "An engrossing portrait of a man so complex that no mere biography could possibly convey more than a sliver of his personality. . . . The Nureyev who strides impatiently through its pages seems entirely convincing." --Terry Teachout, The Baltimore Sun "Every sentence sounds new and beautiful, no matter how often it's read." --USA Today "Dancer is the most breathtaking tribute to Nureyev since Jamie Wyeth's famous paintings." --Esquire "Dazzling . . . an intimate portrait . . . Dancer is bigger than the dance, bigger than biography, too. . . . Relish McCann's dizzy, fascinating glimpse." --Miami Herald
