Book Reviews of Aleph Bravo Tango
Book Review: Aleph Bravo Tango
Summary: 5 Stars
Aleph Bravo Tango is a feast of character, passion, dance, lust, sensuality, jealousy, frustration and dream spiced with wisdom, humor and the occasional culinary gem that combine together to give us a tantalizing taste of the complex and often bewildering "inner" world of tango. Like a master chef, Dyv Saraza has drawn from an international cast of characters and cooked up a scrumptious tango bouillabaisse lovingly created from the feelings, dances and aspirations of the individuals who populate the tango world and are obsessed with attaining a sublimity and perfection that not only is rare and evanescent but almost totally out of reach. Like tango itself, the characters cross national, racial and sexual boundaries in their quest for this holy grail, frequently "losing" themselves in the process. Chapter by chapter, as I took delicious bites from this book, not only did I relive the agony and the ecstasy of my own tango experiences, but I came to realize that I truly do love this dance of the emotions and once again felt the desire to master it and to master and lose myself in the process. Let Aleph Bravo Tango take you into its embrace, close your eyes, dance and let yourself be swept away
Summary of Aleph Bravo Tango
?She will remember this night for the rest of her life?? So begins Aleph Bravo Tango, perhaps the only text ever written about tango which never uses the word ?passion.? More than an elaborate and difficult dance, tango is a culture of intimacy, desire, and dignity. And it is a global phenomenon, alive in cities around the world, connecting people who would not otherwise meet. This is a novel about the transnational embrace that is Argentine Tango. No mere romance or memoir, the intricately woven stories take you to tango?s true mysteries ? the elation, the frustration, the compulsion. This is the tango that changes lives. ?...an unforgettable journey to an underground world ... a breath of fresh air to the genre of novel.? ? Anahid Aramouni Keshishian ?Aleph Bravo Tango announces to the world that...tango is everywhere to be tasted or devoured; to be shared or kept forever in the secret place of our soul. Tango dancers everywhere will find themselves in this book. Others...will enjoy the temptation.? ? Auriel ?Exquisite.? ? Kristina Olsen. Aleph Bravo Tango will simultaneously delight insiders, entice outsiders, and incite those on the edge. Obsessions begin as curiosities?Literature & Fiction Books
