About Books, May 3

Joseph Horowitz has written a wonderful history called "Artists in Exile: How Refugees from Twentieth-Century War and Revolution Transformed the American Performing Arts." You'll read of the impact of refugees on music (Igor Stavinsky, Rudolph Serkin, Kurt Weill), dance (George Balanacine), film (Marlene Dietrich, Ernest Lubitsch) and theater (Stanislavsky).
