Swan Lake for Beginners (Electric Literature's Recommended Reading)

4.3/5 ( ratings)

In this story from Heather O'Neill's new collection, DAYDREAMS OF ANGELS, Russia's most exciting ballet dancer, Rudolf Nuryev, flees the country. After scientist Vladimir Latska is given the task of creating Nuryev clones to redeem Russia's artistic pride and reputation, it's not long before thousands of baby-Nuryev's are running loose in the town of Pas-Grand-Chose in Quebec, Canada, along with tigers, wolves and 1940's Soviet artifacts. No matter what the scientists try, though, none of the children show the passion or talent of the original Nuryev. In this funny and intelligent cautionary tale, Heather O'Neill invites her readers to think about the importance of personal experience and individuality in order to make a life, and in order to make art. This edition features an original introduction by Diane Cook, author of MAN V. NATURE.
