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.
“逃避”这个词,可以说贯穿了莱昂纳德·科恩的一生。 在我的印象中,人人都爱莱昂纳德·科恩,连鲍勃·迪伦、Radiohead这样的大腕,身边都有人不喜欢,但不喜欢科恩的,或不爱听他唱歌的,我想了想:好像还真的没有。想来,科恩是属于那种,只要你的审美正常,就不会拒绝的歌...

評分为他,专门办了网易云的会员,被这个old gentleman 的低沉烟嗓深深迷醉。 这个集情圣、诗人、老僧、歌者于一身的男人,注定是一个传奇,如一坛陈年老酒,苦涩后慢慢回甘;他是这世上最后的吟游诗人,他的吟诵有滴水穿石的魔力,一旦浸淫其中,你将无法自拔。 他自怜、愤世,他...
評分经常看东西的感觉是:初看很有性味,看下去要么因为觉得无聊或者意见相左的部分积累得多了,而兴趣下降。但莱昂纳德的人生或者精确点说是这本传记向我展示的他的一生,却让我越看越喜欢,最最喜欢的是老年的莱昂纳德。 青年的他很有才华;中年的他让我发现当好一个诗人或者作家...
如果你覺得你嚮往天空,思考宗教、醜惡、性或者財富,卻一直被現實拉著雙腳不放——去感受一下老爺子的生活。

评分史料書,雖缺深度但很愉悅……建議看英文原文
评分趕在演唱會之前看完瞭這本厚厚的傳記(這個78歲老頭的演唱會幾乎是完美的)。覺得是部寫得很好傳記,在詳細的事實和soul searching的詮釋之間平衡的恰到好處,把他一生都在寫和唱的那些詩的主題,愛,欲望,焦慮,生死,背後他的處境和想法寫得挺透徹。所以是LC粉絲的一定要看這本書。然後你能看到大半個輩子都在用力生活所以無比焦慮的他,和到一個幾乎在退休年齡時分纔和自己的各種矛盾體和欲望和解瞭的他。他那一半虔誠的信徒一半老不正經的模樣,他那“lazy bastard living in suit“,他那種種冷嘲熱諷挖苦浪蕩都隻是為瞭僞裝那個生活得太嚴肅的小老頭兒。
