Among the compositions Glenn Gould left behind: The text of a personals ad, which reads as follows:
Friendly, companionably reclusive, socially unacceptable, alcoholically abstemious, tirelessly talkative, zealously un-zealous, spiritually intense, minimally turquoise, maximally ecstatic loon seeks moth or moths with similar equalities for purposes of telephonic seduction, Tristan-esque trip-taking and permanent flame-fluttering.No photos required.Financial status immaterial.All ages and non-competitive vocations considered.Applicants should furnish cassettes of sample conversation, notarized certification of material disinclination, references re low-decibel vocal consistency, itinerary and sample receipts from previous successfully completed out-of-town moth flights.All submissions treated confidentially.No paws needs apply.The auditions for all promising candidates will be conducted by and on Anaton Penisend, Newfoundland.
