Dancer, choreographer, and director Bill T. Jones reflects on his art and life in his new book: Story/Time. The book is filled with telling vignettes--about Jones's childhood as part of a large, poor, Southern family that migrated to upstate New York; about his struggles to find a place for himself in a white-dominated dance world; and about his encounters with notable artists and musicians.
