Аннотация
Montreal, wo er 1934 geboren wurde, sei der einzige Ort, an dem er sich je zu Hause gefühlt habe. Leonard Cohens Eltern sind gläubige Juden, und er selbst wird zeit seines Lebens ein spirituell Suchender sein. Und dann sind da noch die Frauen: Gitarre lernt er angeblich nur deshalb spielen, weil er ein Mädchen für sich gewinnen will. Zunächst aber zieht es ihn nicht zur Musik, sondern zur Literatur. Schon mit dreizehn lernt er die Gedichte García Lorcas auswendig. Und Cohen schreibt selbst: Gedichte und Romane. Kaum jemand kann sich da vorstellen, dass er als Sänger reüssieren wird – mit dieser Stimme. Trotzdem versucht sich Cohen bald als Musiker, zunächst aus finanziellen Gründen. Auf dem Newport Folk Festival 1976, wo er Joni Mitchell zum ersten Mal begegnet, erlebt er seinen Durchbruch. In diesen Gesprächen erzählt Cohen eindringlich und mit Nonchalance von hellen und dunklen Zeiten, Begegnungen mit Jimi Hendrix und Janis Joplin im New Yorker Greenwich Village der späten sechziger Jahre, seinem Absturz in den siebziger Jahren, Depressionen, vielen Liebschaften, den Jahren im Zen-Kloster und natürlich von seinen großen Songs.
