A captivating, revealing biography of the legendary musician and poet

Leonard Cohen opens in Los Angeles on the last night of the man’s life in 2016. Alone in his final hours, the beloved writer and musician ponders his existence in a series of flashbacks that reveal the ups and downs of a storied career.

A young Cohen traded in the promise of steady employment in his family’s Montreal garment business for the unlikely path of a literary poet. His life took another sharp turn when, already in his thirties, he recorded his first album to widespread international acclaim. Along the way he encountered a who’s who of musical luminaries, including Lou Reed, Nico, Janis Joplin, and Joni Mitchell. And then there’s Phil Spector, the notorious music impresario who held a gun to Cohen’s head during a coke-fueled, all-night recording session.

Later in Cohen’s life, there’s the story of „Hallelujah,“ one of his most famous songs, and its slow rise from relative obscurity when first recorded in the 1980s to its iconic status a decade later with covers by John Cale and Jeff Buckley. And the period when Cohen went broke after his manager embezzled his lifetime savings, which ironically sparked an unlikely career resurgence and several worldwide tours in the 2000s.

Written with careful attention to detail and drawn with a palette of warm, lush colors by the Quebec-based cartoonist Philippe Girard, Leonard Cohen is an engaging portrait of a cultural icon.

Véritable légende dans son pays, le Canadien Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) a marqué la musique du XXe siècle par la beauté de ses compositions. On reconnaît Cohen à son timbre chaud et à la douceur mélancolique de ses chansons, souvent écrites en hommage aux femmes qu’il a aimées : Suzanne, Marianne, d’autres encore… Dans cette biographie, le lecteur traverse par flash-backs la vie d’un artiste remarquable, avec ses coups de génie (le morceau « Hallelujah », dont les reprises ont parfois éclipsé l’original) et ses coups du sort (la perte des droits de « Suzanne », les manoeuvres d’agents indélicats…), croisant au passage Janis Joplin, Lou Reed
ou Phil Spector…

Leonard Cohen`s Last Letter to Marianne

‘Well Marianne it’s come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine.

And you know that I’ve always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don’t need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.’”
