SADRŽAJ:
List of Illustrations
Prologue
Born in a suit
House of women
20,000 verses
I had begun to shout
A man who speaks with a tongue of gold
Enough of fallen heroes
Please find me, I am almost 30
A long time shaving
How to court a lady
The dust of a long sleepless night
The Tao of cowboy
O make me a mask
The veins stand out like highways
A shield against the enemy
I love you, Leonard
A sacred kind of conversation
The Hallelujah of the orgasm
The places where I used to play
Jeremiah in Tin Pan Alley
From this broken hill
Love and theft
Taxes, children, lost pussy
The future of rock `n` roll
Here I stand, I`m your man
A manual for living with defeat
Epilogue

`Leonard Cohen, one of the most important and influential artists of our era, is a man of powerful emotion and intelligence whose work has explored the essential issues of human life—sex, religion, power, love. Cohen is also a man of complexities and seeming contradictions: a devout Jew, who is also a sophisticate and a ladies` man, as well as an ordained Buddhist monk whose name, Jikan—`ordinary silence`—is quite the appellation for a writer and singer whose life has been anything but ordinary.

I`m Your Man is the definitive account of that extraordinary life. Starting in Montreal, Cohen`s birthplace, acclaimed music journalist Sylvie Simmons follows his trail, via London and the Greek island of Hydra, to New York in the sixties, where Cohen launched his career in music. From there she traces the arc of his prodigious achievements to his remarkable retreat in the mid-nineties and his reemergence for a sold-out world tour almost fifteen years later. Whether navigating Cohen`s journeys through the backstreets of Mumbai or his countless hotel rooms along the way, Simmons explores with equal focus every complex, contradictory strand of Cohen`s life and presents a deeply insightful portrait of the vision, spirit, depth, and talent of an artist and a man who continues to move people like no one else.`
