What reading level is The Art of Nijinsky book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And they are full, too, of a strange subhuman beauty. Now, it is Nijinsky's part to portray the dead mechanism of a doll, quickened to feverish life by jealousy. The beautiful lady-doll, you see, has bestowed her favours on a lusty blackamoor. What then can poor Petrouchka do ? He is weak, a sort of puppet Pierrot. So there's nothing left for him but to try and emulate his rival's fascination. And this 6i NIJINSKY he does in a dance whose frenzied pathos supplies, oddly enough, the most purely ...human touch in the entire Russian reper- toire. It is Nijinsky's chance, and he makes the most of it, Fpr the rest of the mimic drama is largely independent of his genius. Which ren^inds one of the fact that although nobody can dominate a scene like Nijinsky, he is capable at the same time of the most exquisite self- restraint. Thus his Petrouchka is never out of the picture by the least breadth of a hair ; and if there were any need to accord individual honours they would fall perhaps as reasonably to Karsavina, for her lovely horn-dance is one of the most memorable things in this ballet.
