Re: Recommended readings about GG?
Dear Reinout,
Needless to say, there are quite a few out there and you will get
plenty of replies to this post. My recommendation is "The Selected
Letters of Glenn Gould", which, if I recall correctly, is from Oxford
University Press. I like it because it shows, A) Gould from the inside,
in his own, inimitable words; B) All, or most, facets of Gould's
personality, from serious artist to extremely silly friend to the world's
worst driver. I also happen to like his writing style as much or more
than his music. That may be sacrilege, but I'm a writer, not a
musician. Anyway, that's my pick, and I'm sure you'll get others.
Yours,
Janet T. O'Keefe
