具体描述
Fabulous is the only adjective that comes close to doing justice to Isadora Duncan (1878-1927). Her awesomely self-assured autobiography depicts a woman who while still in her teens tells an eminent theatrical manager (from whom she desperately needs a job), "I have discovered the art that has been lost for two thousand years.... I bring you the dance." In Duncan's rendering of her life, composers fling themselves at the piano and compose new music for her on the spot. Men pine for her love (the book's sexual frankness, while hardly startling today, was considered quite scandalous in 1927). And the poor mortals who can never understand her need to be free can at least applaud wildly at her concerts. Duncan and her siblings sleep in a bare Parisian attic, then dance barefoot through the Luxembourg Gardens. They travel to Greece to worship "in the Sacred Land of Hellas," where they build their very own temple. Duncan is capable of seeing the humor in her rhapsodic immersion in art, but we don't really want her to be realistic and self-deprecating like ordinary mortals. It's her divine passion, her supreme confidence in her own genius that make My Life such fun to read. --Wendy Smith

我百度了一下邓肯的生平,却遗憾没有找到视频。我脑补那应该是一种最自由最精彩最打动人心的舞蹈。没有经过任何专业的学习,自学成才,成为现代舞的创始人,我认为这样的人应该是天才,天才不仅表现在舞蹈上,还表现在写出了这样一本文采斐然的自传,很少有舞蹈家还能写出...

大学时期读过中文版,被她悲剧性的一生深深,深深地震撼到。原版读了1/3,放弃了。2010年夏天读的吧,和sanfeng一起。
