A Romance on Three Legs: Glenn Gould's Obsessive Quest for the Perfect Piano

One of my favorite ways to approach a book topic is to find an inanimate object, and use it as a prism through which to tell a larger story. I liken it to describing a world through one grain of sand.

In this case, I told the story of one piano -- Glenn Gould's piano -- in order to tell a much larger story about creative genius, the history of piano tuning and piano manufacturing, etc.
