Novel inspired by the life of Rudolf Nureyev, a Soviet dancer who became an international legend.

A choral look at talent, freedom and the price of a life devoted to art.
German edition, translated from the original «Dancer» by Dirk van Gunsteren. The work was recognized with the Irish Book Award in the Hughes & Hughes Irish Novel of the Year category in 2004.
