Descriere magazin:
Combining the meticulous reporting of She Said with the intimate storytelling of Three Women, an incisive exploration of ballet\'s role in the modern world, told through the experience of the author and her classmates at the most elite ballet school in the country: the School of American Ballet. Ballet is an art full of hyper-feminine trappings, but beneath the ornate costumes and exaggerated stage makeup, traits like thinness, stoicism, and submission reign. Writer Alice Robb spent years immersed in that universe as a child, and when she left, she thought she had escaped its strict codes for good. But as an adult, she couldn\'t shake the feeling that the same laws that governed the dance world still applied in the regular one. Certain bodies hold more value than others, and men often hold the most power of all. Pain is best left concealed, along with sexuality, in all of its messiness. Obedience and conformity are rewarded, while standing out comes at a cost. Ballet does not exist in a vacuum--it is a laboratory of womanhood, a test-tube world in which traditional femininity is exaggerated. Profound, nuanced, and passionately researched, Don\'t Think, Dear is Robb\'s excavation of her adolescent years as a dancer, and an exploration of how those days informed her life for years to come. As she grapples with the pressure she faced as a student at the storied School of American Ballet, she explores the fates of her former classmates as well. From sweet and shy Emily, whose body was deemed "thin enough" only when she was too ill to eat, to precocious and talented Meiying, who--despite her success--had to contend with the fact that she was one of the only Asian-American dancers in her program. Theirs are stories of heartbreak and resilience, of reinvention and regret. Along th...
