Wondrous Strange: The Life and Art of Glenn Gould by Kevin Bazzana

A calm thorough study of an amazing musician which does not overemphasize his idiosyncrasies, and discusses his musical interests at length. It is respectful but not cloying.

Wondrous Strange: The Life and Art of Glenn Gould by Kevin Bazzana

Along with presenting the wonderful story of Gould's life in an engrossing manner, Bazzana provides a parallel portrait of Canadian society. Fascinating. Enjoyed the musical detail.
