Partita for Glenn Gould: An Inquiry Into the Nature of Genius
Winner:Governor General's Literary Awards -Translation (2011)

Countering this common misperception, Partita for Glenn Gould is an eloquent tribute to the artist that illuminates his versatile genius, his thinking, and our reasons for loving his art.
