<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Leonard Cohen, one of the most admired performers of the last half century, has had a strange and eventful life. Now, for the first time, he tells his story in his own words, via more than fifty interviews conducted worldwide between 1966 and 2012. <p/>In<i> Leonard Cohen on Leonard Cohen</i>--which includes a foreword by singer Suzanne Vega and eight pages of rarely seen photos--the artist talks about "Bird on the Wire," "Hallelujah," "Famous Blue Raincoat," and his other classic songs. He candidly discusses his famous romances, his years in a Zen monastery, his ill-fated collaboration with producer Phil Spector, and his long battle with depression. He also comments on his classic poetry and novels, the financial crisis that nearly wiped out his savings, and his remarkable late-career resurgence. <p/>Here you'll find interviews that first appeared in the <i>New York Times</i> and <i>Rolling Stone</i>, along with conversations that have not previously been printed in English. Some have been broadcast but never published. And some of the material has not been available until now in any format, including the many illuminating reminiscences that contributors supplied specifically for this definitive anthology.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>" Jeff Burger has selected interviews and quotes, many of which haven't [previously] been published in English, that will prove as fascinating to Cohen newcomers as to his most diehard fans."--<i><b> Parade</b></i><b> magazine </b> <br> <p/><br><br>"I love the way Cohen speaks [in this book]--he is so disarming and seductive.
