Description
Lebendig wie ein Film, gedreht an den verschiedensten Schauplätzen auf mehreren Kontinenten, schildert dieses Buch das Leben und das Werk eines der größten Singer/ Songwriter unserer Zeit. Von den ersten Anfängen als mittelloser Dichter in seiner kanadischen Heimatstadt Montreal begleitet es Leonard Cohen über vier Jahrzehnte bis zu den triumphalen Konzerten seiner jüngsten Welttournee. Der Autor Anthony Reynolds führte zahlreiche Interviews mit Cohen selbst, aber auch mit dessen Freunden, Lebensgefährtinnen, zeitweiligen Geliebten und usikerkollegen. Herausgekommen ist das faszinierende, detailreiche Bild eines wechselvollen Lebens zwischen Lyrik, Folk und Rock ’n’ Roll, ein warm- herzig geschriebenes Lebensbild des Dichters und Sängers, der von sich behauptet, »mit dem Geschenk einer goldenen Stimme auf die Welt gekommen« zu sein.
