Review Nureyev: His Life / Quill:Mikhail Baryshnikov once said of Rudolf Nureyev that "he had the charisma and the simplicity of a man of the earth and the untouchable arrogance of the gods. " In Diane Solway's new biography, charisma and arrogance definitely win out over grassroots simplicity. Her Rudi is a dance genius whose sexual magnetism continued to attract men and women long after his physical prime, who abandoned his duties as director of the Paris Opéra to tour the US in The King and I (for the money) well after everyone else agreed he should have retired from the stage. You get the feeling that this was not an easy genius to be around. Diane Solway draws on interviews with more than 200 of Nureyev's colleagues and friends to produce a massive, painstaking account of his life. The open thoroughness of this book contrasts tellingly with Nureyev's own life: when he last appeared in public, haunted and dying, at the Palais Garnier in 1992, his minders made sure that he saw only the reviews that didn't mention AIDS. Now Solway talks about his defection, politics, sexuality and final illness with a frankness that would have horrified her subject, but which makes fascinating reading for the rest of us. -Alan Stewart.

Review Three Month Fever / HarperCollins:Andrew Cunanan had already killed four people when he shot Gianni Versace, notes Gary Indiana, but since "only media celebrities are considered to have actual existence" in American culture, it took the murder of the famous fashion designer to make Cunanan's story-which was quickly packaged as a "narrative overripe with tabloid evil"- worth noticing. Three-Month Fever deflates the hype surrounding the case, using a variety of experimental journalistic techniques to explore Cunanan's personality and recreate his frame of mind at the time of the killings. Far from being a "homicidal homosexual" aberration, Indiana says, Cunanan's life before the murders was actually rather mundane, even in its extremes. Indiana also easily distinguishes between these extremes and hysterical fabrications by the press. For example, Indiana cites the restaurant tabs charged to Cunanan's credit card to debunk the theory that use of crystal meth was a factor in the murders: "One indisputable characteristic of people on crystal meth is they don't eat. People on steroids, however, eat plenty. If we could put the crystal meth together with testosterone. but we can't. [+]A mountain of sushi rules it out. ".

Review The Red Rose Girls: An Uncommon Story of Art and Love / Harry N. Abrams, Inc.:The Red Rose Girls traces the lives of three talented artists: Jessie Willcox Smith, Elizabeth Shippen Green, and Violet Oakley. After studying together under the sympathetic guidance of Howard Pyle in Philadelphia, the three (all youngest siblings) decided that they could work best away from the distractions of the city. In 1900, they established their home and studios in a rambling country house called the Red Rose Inn, leading Pyle to dub them the "Red Rose Girls". Strengthened by the emotional support and artistic inspiration that each gave the others, their careers blossomed. Green was a successful illustrator, especially for Harper's Magazine;, Smith produced charming portraits of children; and Oakley was famous for huge murals commissioned to decorate state buildings. With their friend Henrietta Cozens acting as "housewife", their unconventional living arrangement attracted much interest, not all of it positive. The author, a professor at San Jose State University, claims that it freed them from the domestic responsibilities and isolation that could cripple an artist, especially a female artist in pre-emancipated society. For eight years the four led an almost idyllic existence of genteel lifestyle and artistic productivity, but eventually the group disintegrated, Green's marriage causing an especially painful break. Carter's sympathetic, easy prose perfectly complements the women's idealised art and their uncomplicated belief in the goodness of life. Combining delightful photographs of their domestic lives with examples of their work, The Red Rose Girls recreates a vanished world of optimism and grace. [+]-John Stevenson.
