Summary:
"Both as a dancer and a choreographer, José Limón electrified audiences from the 1930s to the 1960s. With his striking looks and charismatic presence, he was American modern dance's first male star. This memoir was commissioned by Wesleyan University Press in the late 1960s. Left unfinished at the time of Limón's death, it stands on its own as a Joycean account of the childhood and coming of age of an unusually perceptive dance artist." -- from the back of the book
