Re: [F_minor] Biography
Can anybody reccomend the best biography of Gould? I have read the
GG reader and "Conversations with GG".
By and large, I enjoyed the earlier biographies more than the later
ones, but that could have just been because I read them first :).
On the other hand, Payzant (the very first one) didn't do a lot for me.
Specifically:
- the first posthumous biography, Glenn Gould: A life and
variations by Otto Friedrich.
- the collection published very shortly after his death, Glenn Gould
Variations edited by John McGreevy, with contributions from many
people. (Not exactly a biography.)
- Etha has mentioned the Selected Letters. Not exactly a biography
either of course, but hey, that's the real (written) GG, as close as
we'll ever get.
