Synopsis:
Mosaic: Memoirs, Lincoln Kirstein's long-awaited autobiography, is a compelling, often highly subjective evocation of his astonishing youth. The book's scenes move from the old mansions of Brahmin Boston to the waterfront bars of Brooklyn, George Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man at Fontainebleau, and the brothels of Marrakesh. It culminates with thrilling suspense in 1933, when Kirstein visits Paris, hoping to lure George Balanchine to the United States. Kirstein shapes his numinous memories into the story of a young man's quest to fuse his various roles into a unified self. Mosaic is the epic history of his ultimately triumphant search for a vocation. As a chapter in the growth of modernism, and as a contribution to cultural history - and the history of assimilation - this superbly written, humorous, and candid book is unique and invaluable.
Review:
"Unlike some of Kirstein's earlier memoirs, 'Mosaic' also includes a good deal of intimate material.... This mix of high and low is part of him, however, and a large part of what made him successful. Lofty visions, practical dealings: that's how he go so much done."
Joan Acocella, New York Review of Books, 11/16/1995
Review:"Whatever the ultimate value of his achievement, he has proved himself a writer distinctive enough to fuse, in ordered lucidity, the strife of his life and the heart of his art."
Wilfrid Mellers, Times Literary Supplement, 11/17/95
