Through the memories of his women and confidantes, this biography provides a fresh portrait of virtuoso pianist Glenn Gould, detailing his many motivations, dreams, quirks, and fears. Filled with personal stories from the people who were intimately involved with the man, this account shows how Gould, the world's greatest pianist in the 1950's and 1960's, was richly inspired by, and bared his soul at the keyboard to, the numerous women who stirred his hard-to-fetch emotions. Long considered to be an asexual, lonely, and egocentric figure, this expose -by examination Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The book's major shortcoming is the angle from which it is written, or perhaps even the subject matter, itself. It presents Gould as a serial monogamist, and we have the misfortune to watch him fall in love and build up tentative relationships only to destroy them with his foibles and fastidiousness. He does this over and over and over again with a laundry list of women of varying degrees of fame, and as a result the book becomes tedious. There is not enough focus on Gould's other goals and achievements to keep it from also being, in my view, rather depressing. ( )
