...five parts, and it will give you some idea of the book's tone, rigorously literary and ridiculously informal at the same time, to know that those parts are titled "The Part about Fate," "The Part about the Crimes" and so on, as if they were Friends episodes. (The flawless translation, by Natasha Wimmer, is appropriately loose and relaxed.) Part 1 is called "The Part about the Critics...

...Jewels.” Considered the crown of Balanchine’s jazzy, bold, American-inspired works, it fits its Stravinsky score like a glove. Misa Kuranaga absolutely nailed the glamour, sexiness, and sophistication the pas de deux demands, adding just the appropriate amount of vulgar. Her flawless technique and assured assimilation of the role originated by Patricia McBride was aided by James Whiteside’s able partnering. Whiteside later appeared in “Ein Von Viel,” a modern ballet choreographed by Sabrina Matthews whose main innovation was bringing a grande piano onstage...
