![]() Must-Read Maine (78) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() A DANCER'S STRENGTH AND GRACE This is actually my second review of actress Victoria Rowell's superb memoir, "The Women Who Raised Me." I didn’t know my first review of the book was going to take the form of a poem until it happened. That I definitely would write something about it became a certainty by the time I got halfway through the book. Reading it was like being ambushed by splendor. It must have been the unexpected shock of the book’s overall beauty that sparked the composition of my review-poem: A Dancer’s Strength and Grace. I have my friend Cass, the co-author of “3 Black Chicks Review Flicks,” to thank for making me aware of Rowell’s book. But the greater share of my gratitude has to go to Rowell herself for telling her deeply compelling story with a historian’s eye for detail, the stylized polish of a novelist, and the linguistic grace of a poet. In all honesty, the book’s superior literary qualities stunned me. Not because of any assumptions made about Ms. Rowell’s abilities as a writer but because memoirs about star performing artists generally draw their strength more from disclosures of the sensational than from aesthetic excellence. They also tend to focus more on the star subject rather than paying tribute to those around them. Rowell, it would seem, was destined to take that road less traveled and readers around the world can be glad she did.
