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.
John Haskell is the author of a short-story collection, I Am Not Jackson Pollock, and the novels American Purgatorio and Out of My Skin. He’s also the author of The Complete Ballet: A Fictional Essay in Five Acts. His work has also appeared in A Public Space, n+1,Conjunctions, and McSweeney’s.
