Description
This book offers an intimate portrait of one of Canada’s most iconic artists, drawn from Harry Rasky’s acclaimed 1979 documentary. Blending film transcripts, personal reflections, and rare photographs, the book explores Cohen’s music, poetry, and creative world with uncommon closeness. Rasky’s friendship with Cohen provides direct insight into the artist’s thoughts on songwriting, literary influences, and life on tour.
This edition includes a new foreword, additional contextual material and ‘The Dylan Diaries’, Rasky’s unpublished notes from his 1966 work-in-progress with Bob Dylan, offering a rare parallel portrait of another defining voice in 20th-century music.
