Viata, patimile si cantecele lui Leonard Cohen

Rate this book
Scriitor de forta, dar si celebritate a muzicii, Leonard Cohen a stirnit mereu controverse, de la primele versuri, considerate a fi la limita pornografiei, pina la retragerea sa, la sfirsitul secolului trecut, intr-o minastire budista (autoizolare intrerupta brusc pentru a reveni spectaculos, la inceput de mileniu, in lumea muzicii cu un nou album). Apreciat mai intii ca scriitor si abia spre batrinete recunoscut ca un muzician de prim rang, Cohen s-a dovedit original si in felul in care a decis sa-si traiasca viata. Toate acestea, dar si multe alte aspecte inedite ale vietii si carierei lui Leonard Cohen sint surprinse de Mircea Mihaies in cartea dedicata marelui artist.

„Lumina se schimba, pagina se intoarce, mingiierea se fringe, gheata se topeste, umbra se stinge, sticla se sparge, vestea soseste – iar lumea nu va mai arata ca inainte, lumea nu va mai fi ce-a fost, ca atunci cind vorbeai sau scriai sau cintai cuvintele sortite s-o cuprinda si sa-i hotarasca intelesul o data pentru totdeauna.“ (Leon Wieseltier)

even though not really aligned with my interests (I don't think that I've ever listened to an LC song because I chose to), the book managed to keep me reading it until the end - it's a sort of analysis / bio of Leonard Cohen's music, including some poetry translations

Oh, the wind, the wind is blowing
Through the graves the wind is blowing
Freedom soon will come
Then we'll come from the shadows
