Product Information
A 2017 NPR Great Read Using the scaffolding of Isadora Duncan's life and the stuff of her spirit, Amelia Gray's breakout novel delivers an incredibly imaginative portrait of the artist, resulting in "a stunning meditation on art and grief by one of America's most exciting young authors" (NPR). As dynamic, enthralling, and powerful as the visionary artist it captures, Amelia Gray's Isadora is a relentless and living portrayal of a woman who shattered convention, even in the darkest days of her life. In 1913, Isadora Duncan was known as much for her stunning dance performances as for her eccentric and salacious personal life -- her lovers included poets, directors, and the heir to the Singer sewing machine fortune. But when her two children drowned in Paris, she found herself taking on a role she had never dreamed of. The tragedy brought the gossips out in full force, and the grieving mother wanted nothing more than to escape it all. Fleeing the very life she had worked so hard to build, she left her sister, Elizabeth, holding the reins of the artistic empire along with Elizabeth's lover, Max, who had his own ideas for greatness. For two years Isadora cast about prewar Europe, living on credit on islands in Greece and in shuttered beachfront dwellings in Italy. She lashed out at her dearest lovers and friends, the very people who held her up. But life had cracked her spirit in two: on one side, the brilliant young talent who captivated audiences the world over; on the other, a heartbroken mother spinning dangerously on the edge of sanity.

Reviews
"Amelia Gray sounds like no one else. Her writing is by turns horrifying, funny, sexy and grotesque . . . At the beating heart of it all, Gray's on a quest to reclaim the body's rightful place in literature-the clumsy, bloody, inconvenient body, which so often gets left behind in high-minded drama." -Colin Dwyer, NPR, "A great novel of character: the story of a real woman's real grief and survival . . . Gray's characters devour the world through their senses, a voracious, bodily quality that's a gift in writing the story of a woman for whom meaning began in the body . . . Though it uses gifts already apparent in Gray's work, Isadora also marks an evolution: Here, Gray's prose is enriched by a profound tenderness . . . Isadora is a heavenly celebration of women in charge of their bodies." --Ellie Robins, Los Angeles Times "A stunning meditation on art and grief by one of America's most exciting young authors . . . Gray is a gutsy, utterly original writer, and this is the finest work she's done so far. Isadora is a masterful portrait of one of America's greatest artists, and it's also a beautiful reflection on what it means to be suffocated by grief, but not quite willing to give up." --Michael Schaub, NPR.org "Gray makes [each character] and their suffering tremendously compelling and allows each of them moments of great sympathy . . . [ Isadora ] is the most deeply sustained of [Gray's] books to date, the most epic and ambitious. It is a brutal novel in many ways, completely unrelenting in its depiction of pain, yet that makes it exhilarating, too. Gray is a fearless writer, a writer willing to look into the most profound darkness and find strange, compelling music there." --Gayle Brandeis, Los Angeles Review of Books "A stunning work filled with profound emotional insights and downright splendid prose. Indeed, Gray's sentences move with a natural cadence that mirrors Isadora's philosophy as a dancer. With each movement, Gray gradually reveals the ambitions and losses of her characters." --Aram Mrjoian, Chicago Review of Books "[A] deeply inquisitive and empathic story of epic grief . . . Historical novels about artists abound, but few attain the psychological intricacy, fluency of imagination, lacerating wit, or intoxicating beauty of Gray's tale of Isadora Duncan . . . Gray, performing her own extraordinary artistic leap, explores the nexus between body and mind, loss and creativity, love and ambition, and birth and death. The spellbinding result is a mythic, fiercely insightful, mordantly funny, and profoundly revelatory portrait of an intrepid and indelible artist." --Donna Seaman, Booklist (starred review) "Captivating historical fiction . . . Gray does a terrific job of depicting not just the bereavement of a mother, but also the bereavement of a mother for whom life is a source of fuel for art. . . A novel equal to its larger-than-life protagonist." -- Kirkus "Gray's striking, sensual language is perfectly suited to her visionary protagonist, and the novel shimmers with memorable prose." -- Publishers Weekly "Gray isn't the first or the last novelist to take on Isadora Duncan's outsize, groundbreaking, tragic life. But she might be the weirdest, in a good way. Gray's stories have tended toward fabulist absurdism. Her treatment of Duncan in the wake of her children's death by drowning is relatively conventional -- half-crazed first-person narration intercut with the perspectives of those struggling to keep Duncan's life together." -- Vulture Spring Book Preview, Praise for Isadora "A great novel of character: the story of a real woman's real grief and survival . . . Gray's characters devour the world through their senses, a voracious, bodily quality that's a gift in writing the story of a woman for whom meaning began in the body . . .

Her treatment of Duncan in the wake of her children's death by drowning is relatively conventional -- half-crazed first-person narration intercut with the perspectives of those struggling to keep Duncan's life together.
