Résumé
Sheds new light on Gould's family history, his secretive sexual life, and the mysterious problems that afflicted his hands in his later years. Contrasts Gould's distinctive traits - his eccentric interpretations, his onstage demeanour, his resistance to convention - against… his religious, upper middle-class Canadian childhood, and the influence of his mother and one piano teacher. Describes his concert career, his 1964 decision to perform only for records, radio, television, and film, and Gould's interests away from the piano. 2003.
