Poor Nijinsky! His bones and his reputation, and his diary, are being turned over again. His diary, a not untiresome document in the first and expurgated place, is now given to us in full, replete with ravings, remorse and rehashing of his life. I am not persuaded of much value to all this, except as corrective to the sanitised portrait of his genius that his wife, Romola, wished to offer to the world. The new translation by Kyril Fitzlyon reads well and must have been an Augean task. Joan Acocella’s introduction is sympathetic, well-reasoned, and warns us that the Nijinsky industry still rumbles tiresomely on – with ‘reconstructions’ of his ballets, whose imper tinence seems to me as great as their improbability, plays, one-man shows, another film, all threatening. Peace, thou troubled spirit, peace. Clement Crisp dance research
