520    David Hallberg, the first American to join the famed 
       Bolshoi Ballet as a principal dancer and the dazzling 
       artist the New York Times described as "the foremost 
       classical stylist of our day," presents an intimate 
       journey through his artistic life up to the moment he 
       returns to the stage after a devastating injury almost 
       cost him his career.Beginning with his real-life Billy 
       Elliot childhood-an all-American story marred by intense 
       bullying-and culminating in his hard-won come-back, 
       Hallberg's brave memoir dives deep into life as an artist 
       as he wrestles with ego, pushes the limits of his body, 
       and searches for ecstatic perfection and fulfillment as 
       one of the world's most acclaimed ballet dancers.While 
       rich in detail ballet fans will adore, this is a book that
       anyone interested in a life of creativity will love. 
       Hallberg reflects on themes like inspiration, self-doubt, 
       and perfectionism as he takes listeners into daily class, 
       rigorous rehearsals, and triumphant performances, 
       searching for new interpretations of ballet's greatest 
       roles. He reveals the loneliness he felt as a teenager 
       leaving America to join the Paris Opera Ballet, the 
       ambition he had to tame as a new member of American Ballet
       Theatre, and the reasons behind his headline-grabbing 
       decision to be the first American to join the top rank of 
       Bolshoi Ballet, tendered by the artistic director who 
       would later be the victim of a vicious acid attack. Then, 
       as Hallberg performed throughout the world at the peak of 
       his abilities, he suffered a crippling ankle injury and 
       unsuccessful surgery leading to an agonizing retreat from 
       ballet and an honest reexamination of his entire 
       life.Combining his powers of observation and memory with 
       emotional honesty and artistic insight, Hallberg has 
       written a great ballet memoir and an intimate portrait of 
       an artist in all his vulnerability, passion, and wisdom.
