This novel opens on a battlefield: trudging back from the front
through a ravaged and icy wasteland, their horses dying around
them, their own hunger rendering them almost savage, the Russian
soldiers are exhausted as they reach the city of Ufa, desperate for
food and shelter. They find both, and then music and dance. And
there, spinning unafraid among them, dancing for the soldiers and
anyone else who'll watch him, is one small pale boy, Rudolf. This
is Colum McCann's dancer: Rudolf, a prodigy at six years old, who
became the greatest dancer of the century, who redefined dance,
rewrote his own life, and died of AIDS before anyone knew he had
it. This is an extraordinary life transformed into extraordinary
fiction by one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation. One
kind of masculine grace is perfectly matched to another in Colum
McCann's beautiful and daring new novel.
