Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 368 pages. Cover wornâ⿬~I danced and danced because th e neon light across the road had just blinked on, because it was the middle of spring, because I was twenty-one, because my father was playing beside me.' In this vivid, seductive, gorgeously written memoir, Mandy Sayer recounts the fascinating years she sp ent performing on the streets of New York and New Orleans with he r father. Gerry Sayer was a jazz drummer, a beguiling Irish charm er with a million stories and an insatiable love for jam sessions and all-night parties. Mandy grew up captivated by his outrageou s tales even after he left the family for good and her mother des cended into the distance of drink. When her siblings failed him b y rejecting the bohemian performing life, Mandy saw her chance to become a character in his stories, part of the only life he real ly loved. So she learned to tap-dance, and they set off together to satisfy their grand ambitions on the toughest stage in the wor ld - New York. Driven by the dream of making it big, Mandy and Ge rry arrived in the city with no place to stay and only costumes t o their names. They became part of the thrilling, precarious worl d of street performers - jugglers, magicians, fire-eaters, dancer s - who eked out their livings at the mercy of the elements, the cops, complaining neighbours and lurking thieves. in cinematic de tail, Sayer tells of the first exhilarating season in New York Ci ty, earning $200 a night on Columbus Avenue; offsetting the physi cal pain of endless performance with the incomparable rush that a ccompanied it; the long, difficult winter in New Orleans, survivi ng on avocados and raw vegetables in unheated apartments; and the ir final unforgettable return to New York. Entwined with this sin gular story of a busker's life is the deeper, more intimate story of Mandy's transformation from a girl searching for her father's love into a woman who could invent her own language and find her own voice. For ultimately DREAMTIME ALICE is a triumphant record of a young woman's discovery that she could create her own story at last. Seller Inventory # 2319g
