SYNOPSIS: Part memoir, part entertainment, part commentary on a life lived as art, Toller Cranston tells tales as only he can, including: The only skating show in Haiti . . . The Broadway triumph that failed . . . The great monkey showdown . . . The pachinko wizard . . . Upstaging Joan Collins . . . The lost dog and the Cabbagetown street people . . . The decimation of John Curry . . . The wrong Miss America . . . Sonja Henie's prediction . . . Sex in Holiday on Ice . . . Golf among the mambas . . . The auction of the century . . . and other stories too strange not to be true! - and - Toller Cranston is: six-time Canadian figure-skating champion, celebrity, costume designer, artist extraordinaire, broadcaster, choreographer of skating routines, raconteur, bon vivant, coach, world traveller, art collector, legend, and enigma. In 1976 he won Olympic bronze (so why did it feel like defeat?). This book tells the story of his life after those fateful games at Innsbruck. The rise and fall of Toller's first professional ice show is described in soul-searing detail. His subsequent triumphant tour of Europe as the Skater of the Century is recounted, in contrast, with wicked humour. There are vignettes here of his encounters with the rich and famous from Leonard Bernstein to Pierre Cardin and of his life among Europe's aristocrats and bohemians. Toller has experienced the high life and the low. He has stayed in the most luxurious hotels, held court in palatial houses, sough seclusion in beautiful estates. But the hard times have taken their toll. In the early 1990s a combination of circumstances, including a disastrous professional association with out-of-control American skater Christopher Bowman and a lawsuit that dragged on for years (ending in complete victory for Toller), led to a personal crisis from which recovery came slowly. But even in the blackest hours, Toller's humour and creative powers never deserted him. This generously illustrated book is an extraordinary self-portrait written by a uniquely gifted individual. Toller's wit, insight, and delicious way with words will entertain and astound readers whether they are skating fans or not. Toller Cranston continues to skate professionally and paint prolifically. He divides his time between Toronto and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Martha Lowder Kimball, who collaborated with Toller in writing Zero Tollerance, lives in Jamestown, New York. Her work appears frequently in magazines and periodicals devoted to figure skating. She is presently completing a biography of Robin Cousins and is working with Isabelle and Paul Duchesnay on a book about their skating career. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
