This is a beautiful piece of writing and one of the most candid memoirs of the artist as a young woman that I have read. Although dance is not one of my major interests, I found Rainer's attraction to performing and her development as a dancer fascinating and applicable to anyone passionate about any field. Her descriptions of family members and her account of the difficulties of integrating sexual/intimate relationships and her work life are particularly moving and compelling. I was sorry when the book ended and recommend it particularly to young women trying to compose their lives. Also, the book itself is a delight to look at: great paper, interesting photographs and quality production.

this is by far an amazing dance book ...it is deep and profound...a record of process. I knew Yvonne way back then when I would photograph her when she was studying with Dunn and Merce...and doing the beginnings of her dance work...I loved this book in its personal slant...a portrait of those times...
