Rezensionen

Meiner Meinung singt Leonard Cohen eindeutig besser als er schreibt. Allerdings macht er das auch schon viel länger, die 2011 erschienene deutsche Übersetzung basiert auf dem bereits 1963 erschienenen Original. Grundsätzlich schildert Cohen darin seine Jugendjahre mit wechselnden Frauenbekanntschaften, der Lust und dem Leid, Künstler zu werden bzw. zu sein und dem Gefühl der kontinuierlichen Einsamkeit. Es ist jedenfalls besser, das Buch im Original zu lesen, dann kommen einem viele Textpassagen noch bekannter vor, weil sie Cohen ganz offensichtlich in seinen Liedern übernommen hat.
