Gould’s work “The Idea of North” was, he said, “an opportunity to examine that condition of solitude which is neither exclusive to the north nor the prerogative of those who go north but which does, perhaps appear ... a bit more clearly to those who have made, if only in their imagination, the journey north.” From “Glenn Gould: A Life in Pictures.” (Harold Whyte, Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Still Photo Collection, Toronto / Firefly Books, 2007)
