Glenn Gould - any books about him?

on: November 23, 2005, 10:32:49 PM

I've been listening to alot of Glenn Gould this week and reading a little about him. Has anyone read a book on him - does one exist? He seemed a really interesting pianist, i know he had aspergers syndrome? Let me know!

Thanks.

There is a book called "Music & Mind" by Geoffrey Payzant. It is available on amazon.

Wondrous Strange by Kevin Bazzana is very good and also (I think) available on Amazon.

I found Otto Friedrich's "Glenn Gould - Life and Variations" (1989) very good.
