DeLillo on Gould, Bernhard, Monk in Grand Street

[Richard Romeo]

Hi all-

 

Just read DD's essay on Glenn Gould, Thomas Bernhard, and Thelonious
Monk in the recent issue of Grand Street.  

 

Remember Pynchon's line about everyone having their own
Antarctica-pretty icy dicey. 

 

So much inwardness, continuing the claustrophobic vibe of
post-Underworld concerns, the artist who suffers....from what? Maybe the
theater is too real outside...where else to hide?

 

No doubt he's read Agape Agape, too-as Bernhard and Gould figure
prominently in that little boring book of hell and solipsism

 

Who once thought such madness was cool, a smidgen of molten divinity.

 

Not so grand anymore

How do you like your blue-eyed boy now...Mr Death?

 

Richard
