Author Juhea Kim’s sophomore novel, City of Night Birds, is set in the complex world of Russian ballet.
Devoted dancer Natalia Leonova is coping with injury and addiction following a two year hiatus from dancing, and when she returns to the stage she’s thrust back into the politics of the constantly-evolving world of ballet. I recently spoke with Juhea Kim about her experience as a dancer and passion for conservation and advocacy work.
