His was an amazing life full of artistic triumphs, to be sure, but also a life of insecurities and pain. Having known Jerry, I had looked forward to a book such as this one that would focus less on his sometimes extreme measures in getting the performances he wanted from his dancers and other co-workers and more on what inspired and drove him and his creative life. How lovely that it has arrived! I highly recommend this well written study of one of America's true artists.
