- raganwald 17y agoAnd then ethere's an excellent play called "Glenn" that is structured around and like the Goldberg Variations. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1552450589?ie=UTF8&tag=raganwald001-20 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1552450589?ie=UTF8&tag=... (Fully whored link). Glenn Gould is depicted at four different stages of his life, and like a contrapuntal piece of music the four characters speak against and with each other in various combinations. If you love Bach's music, this play is an amazing experience.

- cesare 17y agoBTW, have you read the novel 'The Loser' by Thomas Bernhard? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Loser_(book) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Loser_(book) I bet most people here would like it. One of the three main characters is a fictitious Glenn Gould.
