Fans of New York City Ballet and/or dance in general will be interested in this biography of Jerome Robbins by Amanda Vaill. This paperback volume, 675 pages long with black and white photos, was published in late 2006 by Broadway Books. Widely acclaimed, the biography draws on thousands of documents from the choreographer's private and professional papers as well as hundreds of personal interviews. The work takes the reader through the worlds of Broadway, Hollywood and ballet during a golden 50-year period of creativity. One reviewer describes the work as "an epic biography-remarkable in scope and meticulous detail."
