  READ THE FIRST PAGES OF JULIE KAVANAGH'S NEW BOOK "RUDOLF NUREYEV, HIS LIFE"
 

al
This definitive biography, nine years in the making, draws for the first time on private papers, diaries and home-movie footage, and includes reminiscences from scores of colleagues and friends, the closest of whom had hitherto refused to co-operate with any writer. Julie Kavanagh, herself a former dancer, examines with authority Nureyev’s legacy as a choreographer and director.
