"Elegant. . . . Uplifting and timely. . . . Thompson rescues tango from a one-dimensional tristesse, mining in its working-class origins emotions of defiance, freedom, self-control, humor, love, and redemption." -"Foreign Affairs"
"[Thompso treats tango as narrative art, literature and way of life. . . . By extensively tracing the lines of this 'rich suite of moves, ' Thompson's work gives a dance started in the early 1900s the weight of a centuries-old form." -"Newsweek"
Book Description
A definitive study of tango in all its manifestations from the author of the classic Flash of the Spirit. Beginning with Carlos Gardel, the Argentine genius considered to have invented tango in 1917, through to Hollywood's current representations of the dance, Thompson approaches his subject from all conceivable angles. Passionately argued, unequalled in its research, synthesis and depth and written with a revelatory clarity, Tango is a monumental and hugely fulfilling achievement.
