Re: GG: Imagining Glenn Gould

[Kristen Immoor <kimmoor@mindspring.com>]

Wow.
I am a bit speechless, this was a lovely and unusual essay and I am very
glad you forwarded it to us. After reading so many canonical,
epistemological, and ultimately dehumanizing essays about Gould, it is
refreshing (and really quite dazzling) to read a piece that allows Gould to
be a glorious nobody; a man in doubt, a man who fails, a man who is excited
by kindness and the touch of a hand, and who embraces with pleasure the
notion that it is never too late for a personal revolution. Very charming
indeed.

Thank you for sharing this work with us, I wish I could have heard it read
with the appropriate music cues. Are there other Gould stories you could
post?
Bruce shouldn't have left us!
Best regards,
Kristen
