The definitive biography of one of the most emigmatic, beloved, and celebrated artists of our time.
Leonard Cohen's extensive and successful recent worldwide tour has demonstrated that his popularity across generations and borders has never been greater. Cohen's life is one of singular mystique. This major in-depth biography is the book Cohen's fans have been waiting for. Acclaimed writer/journalist Sylvie Simmons has interviewed more than 100 figures from Cohen's life and work, including his main muses; the women in his life -- from Suzanne and Marianne to Rebecca de Mornay and Anjani Thomas; artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Nick Cave, David Crosby, Judy Collins, and Philip Glass; his record producers; his closest friends, from childhood to adulthood; and many of the spiritual figures who have influenced his life.
Cohen, notoriously private, has granted interviews himself. Thoroughly researched and thoughtful, penetrating and lively, fascinating and revealing of stories and facts never read before, I'm Your Man offers new perspectives on Cohen and his life. It will be one of the most talked-about books of the season, and for years to come.

莱昂纳德·科恩的神奇魅力在于,他能轻而易举地统一文艺青年的审美战线,无论是在蒙特利尔、哥本哈根,还是在北京,乃至许多二三线城市,都有着他的朝拜者。时光回溯到千禧年之时,小镇青年租来《天生杀人狂》的盗版碟,听见一个苍老的声音在唱:“亲爱的,我们结婚吧;我们...
评分初五这天翻完了这本厚实的传记,呆坐在椅子上的我不知要做什么。于是打开了他与 Sharon Robinson 合作的专辑《Ten New Songs》,这也是我最早听的一张专辑。闭上眼睛,眼泪突然掉了下来,那是专辑的最后一曲《The Land of Plenty》。被子里温暖和煦,莱昂纳德的嗓音低沉且温和...
评分 评分大多数人都是通过李健老师知道莱昂纳德·科恩的。 我第一次知道科恩,是他逝世那一天,2016年11月7日。 于他而言,是人世之旅的终点,于我而言,是有他陪伴的一段旅程的伊始。 拿到科恩的这本传记开始读起来,我总会频繁用笔标记我觉得有趣和值得深思的地方,次数多了,就忍不...

史料书,虽缺深度但很愉悦……建议看英文原文
评分15年幸得原版,断断续续当作床头读物看完了。 情感、体验和艺术品从来不会源自隔岸观火,也没有所谓的感同身受; 世人罕有如此:以严肃的态度甘心投身桎梏、迷惘、欲求、毒药等实打实的精神波动之中, 且在半生以后与所有矛盾和解。 这还仅仅是LC作为诗人的牛逼。
评分自己买的原版,哭着也要读完!因为他真想早出生四十年。
评分赶在演唱会之前看完了这本厚厚的传记(这个78岁老头的演唱会几乎是完美的)。觉得是部写得很好传记,在详细的事实和soul searching的诠释之间平衡的恰到好处,把他一生都在写和唱的那些诗的主题,爱,欲望,焦虑,生死,背后他的处境和想法写得挺透彻。所以是LC粉丝的一定要看这本书。然后你能看到大半个辈子都在用力生活所以无比焦虑的他,和到一个几乎在退休年龄时分才和自己的各种矛盾体和欲望和解了的他。他那一半虔诚的信徒一半老不正经的模样,他那“lazy bastard living in suit“,他那种种冷嘲热讽挖苦浪荡都只是为了伪装那个生活得太严肃的小老头儿。
评分读这本书的时候建议在Pandora上开一个科恩台,然后每天就随意听和他同时代的那些文艺老青年的歌,不少都是前天晚上书里刚刚提到的。传记很厚,因为老头子80多了也没闲着。
