Leonard Cohen is a lasting phenomenon. During the latter half of the twentieth century he, unlike any other, succeeded in reconciling literature and poetry with pop music. Marc Hendrickx digs deep into the work of Leonard Cohen finding original views on humanity, happiness, love, old age and death.

Working from his own perspective, Marc Hendrickx gives a lively insight on Leonard Cohen’s work and shows its depth and relevance for a new generation. This is essential reading for anyone interested in developing a deeper understanding of the continuing significance of Leonard Cohen.
