Sorrow is inefficient. It’s also inescapable. Lieutenant Dev
Singh dutifully spends his days recording the memories of people
who, struck with incurable depression, will soon have their minds
erased in order to be more productive members of society. After
all, the Bureau knows what's best for you. At night though, hidden
in the dark, Dev remembers and writes in his secret journal the
special moments shared with him – the small laugh of a toddler,
the stillness of a late afternoon. The first flutter of love. But
when the Bureau finds out he's been recounting the memories – and
that the depression is in him, too – he’s sent to a sanatorium
to heal. A nightmarish descent from sadness to madness, THE
COLLECTOR is a dystopian horror novel where grief is forbidden and
purged from the mind.
As a charter member of Boston Ballet and its predecessor, New
England Civic Ballet, Laura Young has been affiliated with the
company longer than any other dancer in its history. This book is
both a memoir of her personal journey and a fascinating account of
Boston Ballet's rise from a regional troupe to the internationally
recognized company that it is today. It is interspersed with
ruminations on the history of ballet, stories from the company's
Balanchine-influenced early years under founder E. Virginia
Williams, and recollections from noteworthy tours, including those
featuring the legendary Rudolf Nureyev, with whom Young was
frequently paired. After retiring from the stage, Young has
continued her affiliation with Boston Ballet, both as an
administrator and a teacher. Working in collaboration with Janine
Parker, Young has written a lively, informed, and entertaining
memoir.
