About The Book
In GLEN GOULD: SKETCHES OF SOLITUDE writer Anne
Kaufmann gives us an imaginative glimpse into the world and soundscapes of
Canadian icon and music legend, Glenn Gould. It is a series of vignettes or
"sketches" of Gould's life based on his own recollections over the
years and those of others who knew him. Artist Rudin Koci perfectly augments
the poetic prose with his colorful, bold and energetic illustrations. This book
will inspire young people of today to nurture their own creativity through art
and music.

I love watching "Behind The Music" and "I Love the *0's" shows.This book was just like these shows. It always amazes me how artists write music and how their "noise" affect so many listeners. I also really enjoyed the pictures. The added to the artistic theme of the book. The Cottage was my favorite. I was happy that the author included a list of events and a section on each chapter called "facts". This was definitely an interesting read. I am giving this book a 4/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
