Meer over het boek

The Loser is a brilliant fictional account of an imaginary relationship among three men—the late piano virtuoso Glenn Gould, the unnamed narrator, and a fictional pianist, Wertheimer—who meet in 1953 to study with Vladimir Horowitz. In the face of Gould's incomparable genius, Wertheimer and the narrator renounce their musical ambition, but in very different ways. While the latter sets out to write a book about Gould, Wertheimer sinks deep into despair and self-destruction.
