Re: New books that I got during the GG Gathering

Hi Walter,

   I talked with Rhona at the intermission of the play Glenn Gould in 
Stratford.  She told me of 18 submission rejections of her book.  She said 
her husband eventually typed it up and they self published only 500 
copies.  She gave away nearly 100 copies to those who helped her with the 
interviews, she added.

   I walked up to the L'Atelier Grigorian bookstore, bought it and only 
found it there.  She said that's where she "brought them all" when she came 
to Toronto.

   The play intermission ended and I didn't get a chance to ask her why 
her book wasn't somehow available or presented during the Gathering.  I 
have my suspicions.  I'm about half way through reading it and wondering 
how accurate her take on the 'spiritual Gould' is ??

   Cheers, Nola
