GG: new GG books in Japan
Dear fm's:
Recently, there published two new books on Gould in Japan:
Atsushi Sugita. *Rihita, Gurudo, Berunharuto*
(Gerhard Richter, Glenn Gould, Thomas Bernhard, in
Japanese). Tokyo: Misuzu Shobo, April 1998.
Shoichiro Yokota. *"Kusamakura" hensokyoku*
(The Three-Cornered World Variations, in Japanese).
Tokyo: Sakuhokusha, May 1998.
The former is a highly theoretrical and rhetrical
criticism on "art" through the three "artist" in the
same generation. Gerhard Richter is a German painter,
Thomas Bernhard is, as you know, a novelist who
wrote *Der Untergeher*.
It is very difficult for me to explain and evaluate the book.
The author is a Japanese critic of art.
The latter is on Gould and Soseki. A Japanese journalist
thinks rather freely over the connection of the two via
Gould's enthusiasm to *The Three-Cornered World*.
In a sense, it is portraits of the two.
Best regards,
Junichi
