Requirements: ePUB or MOBI Reader, 2.6 MB
Overview: "Beginning with the Montreal years and his mentorship under Louis Dudek, F.R. Scott and Irving Layton, Cohen’s life quickly moves to London, the island of Hydra, New York, Nashville and Los Angeles, with stops in Havana, Tel Aviv and Paris. Through it all, we learn the origin of a series of remarkable books and astonishing records; the sources of Cohen’s practice of Judaism and Zen; the various sculptures he explored, and the roots of raw emotion and intensity that have always characterized his art." (From the introduction)
For nearly forty years, Leonard Cohen has endured the ups and downs of an international career that has alternately identified him as the "Prince of Bummers" and Canada’s most respected poet and performer. Now, author Ira Nadel brings us closer to understanding these conflicting descriptions and allows us to enter Cohen’s private world. He peels back the many layers to reveal the man and explain the fascinating relationship between Cohen’s life and his art.
This is a remarkable and rare look at Leonard Cohen, up close and personal.
