"Again, would love to read this one in the original. Seems to be overflowing with style: this portrait of an obsessive mind doubles over as an up close and personal lesson in music history. Does for twentieth-century legend Glen Gould what movies like "Amadeus" did for Mozart. Though I will admit that there is something cold and almost overly intellectual about the writing. But again, that could just be the impression one gets from reading it in translation."
"Basically one paragraph that sprawls through intricate layers of memory, self-righteousness, and failure. About a group of piano masterminds that are overshadowed by Glen Gould. Heavy topics like genius and art are interpreted by the speaker as unpleasant personality flaws."
