“Gould looked older than his forty-nine years – a stooped, paunchy, rumpled, balding man. His tiny hotel studio was cell-like – the windows blocked, the curtains drawn. His desk was covered with bills, unanswered letters, and penciled first drafts. […] The bathroom was littered with empty Valium bottles. […] ‘These are the happiest days of my life,’ Gould said suddenly.”
Gould had no Jewish ancestry, though he sometimes made jokes on the subject, like "When people ask me if I'm Jewish, I always tell them that I was Jewish during the war."
