Instead, she works on evoking the performative character of Johnson’s life in a biography that has a dancerly rhythm of feints and darts, goes off on tangents and doubles back, keeping her prose, like her subject, moving, changing. Like the life it records, the book is a brilliant turn in — highest compliment — a very Ray way.
相反，她致力於在一本傳記中喚起約翰遜一生的表演性格，傳記中有舞蹈般的佯攻和飛鏢節奏，切線和折返，讓她的散文像她的主題一樣動人、變化。就像它記錄的生活一樣，這本書是一個輝煌的轉折——最高的讚美——一種非常雷的方式。

perch ABOVE CENTRAL PARK.
To many in the profession this aesthetic approach represented a way forward.
