In reply to Can anyone recommend a good (auto)biography?, posted by KaraS on August 29, 2004, at 14:51:25
Hi Kara. Well, there are two that are among my favorites. Unfortunately, I think the first one I'm going to mention might be out of print, but it's worth trying to find. The title is "JOYS AND SORROWS: REFLECTIONS" by Albert E. Kahn. It is a biography of the cellist, Pablo Casals.
The next one, which was recently re-released, is "HOLDING ON TO THE AIR," the autobiography of Suzanne Farrell, one of the greatest ballerinas of the Twentieth Century and George Balanchine's muse during the last twenty years of his life. This book was written by Suzanne Farrell with Toni Bentley, who also danced with the New York City Ballet during Balanchine's reign.
Both books are inspiring and are about people who overcame great obstacles to achieve their success.
