Glenn Gould favored solitude because he felt that purity was contaminated by the world, by the competition and judgments of the world, and his goal was to preserve that purity.

Glenn Gould struggled throughout his life with physical and psychological problems that threatened to overwhelm him. Eccentric, enigmatic, paranoid, hypochondriac, reclusive, genius—Glenn Gould wore all of these labels.

In these six imagined vignettes, John Haskell attempts to get past these labels to explore the interior life and persona of the man, examining the unique world he created for himself.
