Winter Season Quite possibly the most revealing book about the world of ballet ever to see print.”– National Review “One of the most intelligent and introspective glimpses ever offered into one of the most competitive and excruciatingly nervous existences in the arts.”– New York Times Book Review “Without entirely stripping away the glamour of being a dancer, Bentley’s candid and modest account makes for a moving revelation about the price discipline and control exacts from young dancers in the name of art.”– Chicago Tribune “A mini-marvel, impossible to put down. As a dancer’s-eye portrait of the choreographer, a divinity to Ms. Bentley as well as, apparently, to everyone else in the NYCB and to uncounted other ballet lovers in the world beyond, the book is invaluable.”– New York Review of Books An irresistible inside look at one of the world’s great dance companies, Winter Season is also a sensitive, intimate, and almost painfully honest account of the emotional and intellectual development of a young woman dedicated to one of the most demanding of all the arts. Bentley’s association with the New York City Ballet began when she was accepted by the affiliated School of American Ballet at the age of eleven.
