Chronicling the highs and lows that have punctuated the life of a
musical genius, this in-depth biography reveals new insight into
the legendary songs of Leonard Cohen. Covering each stage in his
prolific career--his early years as a poet and author in Canada,
his relocation to New York City and subsequent impact within the
folk and rock scenes, his years spent in a Buddhist monastery, and
his recent rediscovery by a new generation of fans--this definitive
history combines perceptive research with previously unpublished
photos. Balancing his literary and musical influences with themes
of religion, depression, sex, politics, and complex interpersonal
relationships, fresh perspectives are highlighted through
interviews with colleagues who have never before gone on record.
His recent release of new music, current revival in popularity, and
first tour in 15 years are fully detailed and cited as one of the
most dramatic periods in the life of this eloquent songwriter.
