Présentation de l'éditeur
In 1979 Leonard Cohen set off on his Field Commander Cohen world tour accompanied by Harry Rasky. Rasky was a young filmmaker and it would be one of the wildest years of his life. From soaking in a Jacuzzi with Cohen, drinking wine and discussing the meaning of life to the pair running away from armed police in Germany suspected of being Bader-Meinhof terrorists this is the full story of that tour and a rare insight into Leonard Cohen the poet, musician and man. Harry Rasky created the acclaimed documentary The Song of Leonard Cohen and he has now delved into his personal archives and diaries to write this intimate and moving portrait of Cohen. Including previously unseen photos, as well as Cohen s own commentary on his writing and his development as a writer no other book gets so close to Leonard Cohen the writer.
Revue de presse
Cohen in depth, and in his own words... Students of Cohen s work will find this intricate portrait an illuminating rumination on the nature of creativity and the religious, sociological and geographical pressures that mould the way in which a poet sees the wider world. --Record Collector
Rasky s memories and observations are crouched in a mixture of fond anecdotage and brusque opinion... There is also a wealth of material from Cohen, both writings and reflections... The genesis and development of songs such as Bird on the Wire, Chelsea Hotel, Suzanne, Who By Fire and Sisters of Mercy is described --The Word
Rasky s Leonard Cohen is clever, poetically inspired, a superb performer...(Rasky) is anxious to track Cohen to his lair in lyrics, in history, in his personal life --Times Literary Supplement
