[F_minor] Literature about (or Inspired by) Glenn Gould

["Anne M. Marble" <amarble@sff.net>]

Can anybody name novels, stories, and other works of literature inspired by 
Glenn Gould? Or even stories in which he plays a small part, in person or 
in spirit?

Here are the ones I'm familiar with:
-- "The Maestro" by Tim Wynne-Jones -- GG appeared in the guise of 
Nathaniel Orlando Gow
-- "The Loser" by Thomas Bernhard -- There is a pianist called Glenn Gould 
but he is dissimilar in many ways to the real thing.
--"Good News" by Edward Abbey -- a cameo appearance
-- "Gold Bug Variations" by Richard Powers (the Goldberg Variations play an 
important role)
--  Northern Music: Poems About and Inspired by Glenn Gould , edited by J. 
D. Smith (has anyone read this?)
-- The play "Glenn"

Last night, I dreamt there were actually a couple of manga or graphic 
novels about Glenn Gould! Oh if only there were! What a wonderful way of 
getting the word out to young music fans. ;-)
