‘“The Ballet Maker” is a graceful little book, a twirl into the world of George Balanchine’ Washington Post
‘I'd recommend Gottlieb's book for its authority, completeness and articulate excellence.’ New York Times Book Review
‘This book sounds much like the way [Gottlieb] spoke about Balanchine in the halls of the New Yorker, where I was a contributor during the late ’80s and early ’90s. Its integrity is unquestionable.’ Los Angeles Times
