Book Synopsis The Queer Afterlife of Vaslav Nijinsky by : Kevin Kopelson
Book excerpt: This is three books in one: an impressionistic account (based on the aestheticism of Walter Pater) of the dancer's homoerotic career, a deconstructive analysis of his gay male reception (drawn from the semiotics of Roland Barthes), and an exploration of the limitations of that analysis.
