Having long admired John Curry's skating, I was interested in learning about what it took to become (in my opinion), the greatest skater ever. Many of the answers are found here: discipline, tragedy & musicianship. There is little doubt Mr. Curry could have been one of the finest dancers of his or any other day, yet was denied that chance by a cruel, close-minded father. Dancing's loss was skating's gain, although I am saddened Mr. Curry is not better known. If this book paints John as an unlikeable person, it also does a fine job of explaining why he was that way. Demon or Deity, I am still intrigued by Mr. Curry's magic.
I wish I had not waited two years to read this book. Easily one of the best figure skating books and sport biographies I have ever read (and I was a figure skating book collector back in the 1990s.) This author did so much research, so many interviews and tried to describe the psyche of an athlete and artist who did not share much with many. After reading this, you really shake your head at the coverage of the last Olympic Games - knowledge and respect of Curry could have leant itself well to coverage of Rippon and Radford as out Olympians.Also: if you grew up thinking Curry's MSG performances were pivotal (usually thanks to having read A Very Young Skater as a kid), you might be surprised to see them given so little attention here. I don't know if that's because the author didn't find them important or because they actually weren't important in the large scheme of things. I'm eager to delve more into those performances to see which it is.
I was on the fence about reviewing this book since I didn't finish it... but there was a reason for that.I love John Curry's skating - he brought it to a new level and it really is the epitome of artistry on ice.But after reading 3/4 of the book, I realised I like John Curry much better as an athlete than a person. In fact, he came across as a bit of a prat.The book was good enough that I will go back and finish it but I think a bit of downtime before I do so.
One of the best written bios I've read. It managed to show his flaws while remaining sympathetic. The story itself is fascinating. John tried to invent a whole new form of highbrow ice entertainment but didn't have the temperament or business acumen to manage a troupe. Recommended to all skating fans.
I think it is well written. I was fortunate to have met John have a skating lesson with him and to skate in a show with him at the old skyrink. I did not know a lot about his history except what I read. When you train at something for years there are going to be highs and lows. He changed the face of male figure skating in my opinion for the better. My one word for john curry, GENIUS. Thank you John.
Everything you wanted to know about the mysterious John Curry; his ambition, goals, what his friends went thru with his moodiness. He was a pioneer that changed the sport for the better. It was also a bit dishy on fellow skaters Jo Jo Starbuck & Dorothy Hamill and the major ice shows like Ice Capades.
I would have included "genius" in the title. Heartbreaking profile of a true artistic genius who singlehandedly changed and elevated the sport of figure skating into an art rivaling ballet. Be sure and watch his videos on YouTube, especially the programs "After All" (choreographed by Twyla Tharp), and his own choreogrpahy to Debussy's "Afternoon of a Faun." He acheived incredible beauty.
BRILLIANT book! I tend to only read biographies and many of them are tedious in too many chapters. This book on John Curry is sensational and well-deserving of my five stars. It is gripping and fascinating ALL the way through. Unbelievable details and accounts from start to finish.
