GG: new GG books in Japan

["Junichi Miyazawa" <walkingtune@bigfoot.com>]

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
