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.

一声叹息

史料书，虽缺深度但很愉悦……建议看英文原文

第一次听Cohen，是2012年，音像店的黑胶CD试听。比起网络版，声线更沙哑深沉，直击人心。

一声叹息

唏噓13年的生日收到這本書，在17年生日之前終於讀完。年初讀完訪談集之後開始看的，解答了很多疑問。書尾彷彿時間還停留在12年，第二輪大巡演即將開始⋯⋯
