Leonard Cohen's troubled relationship with God is here mapped onto
his troubled relationships with sex and politics. Analysing
Covenantal theology and its place in Cohen's work, this book is the
first to trace a consistent theology across sixty years of Cohen's
writing, drawing on his Jewish heritage and its expression in his
lyrics and poems. Cohen's commitment to covenant, and his anger at
this God who made us so prone to failing it, undergird the faith,
frustration, and sardonic taunting of Cohen's work. Both his faith
and ire are traced through: * Cohen's unorthodox use of Jewish and
Christian imagery * His writings about women, politics, and the
Holocaust * His final theology, You Want It Darker, released three
weeks before his death.
