Product Description

Product Description

In the late seventies, filmmaker Harry Rasky was on one wild trip! He soaked in a Jacuzzi at the Four Seasons with Leonard Cohen...he drank wine and talked about the meaning of life with Leonard and Irving Layton at Leonard's place in Montreal ...Harry and Leonard were mistaken for Bader-Meinhof terrorists by soldiers with machine guns while dining at a German Burger King...Harry was also part of the 1979 Field Commander Cohen tour ...but best of all, he got everything on film! From the footage of these adventures, Harry Rasky created the acclaimed 1981 documentary film "The Song of Leonard Cohen". Leonard Cohen called Harry Rasky recently to express his appreciation and admiration for the film.Inspired by that conversation, Rasky has delved into his personal archives and diaries upon which the film is based and has woven them into this moving and powerful text - "The Song of Leonard Cohen". This book also contains Harry Rasky's never before published "Bob Dylan Diaries", based on his notes and observations during the filming of a documentary project that was never completed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a biography!, 14 Jan 2003
I'm quite a fan of Leonard Cohen, especially his lyrics so this book was great for me. When I first began to read it I found it a little difficult to get into, the way it is written is slightly unusual but once I became accustomed to it I finished the book in under a week.

Don't buy this book if you're looking for a classic biography of Cohen, it's not. Buy it if you want an insight into the man, his music and his life but written from a very different angle. Harry Rasky is a friend of Leonard's and he made a movie about him which basically entailed following him around on tour etc. and videotaping short interviews and clips of his everyday life. The book is an account of the making of the film and is interspersed with lyrics where appropriate to illustrate Harry's questioning. In it Leonard talks about how he feels about various subjects but mainly his music and his life.

I really enjoyed reading this book, there are some funny, heartwarming and insightful moments and it kept my attention easily. I've since tried to find the film in question but unfortunately to no avail. I have a feeling that much of what was in the film is right here in the book though. In conclusion, an unusual but entertaining read about an unusual and entertaining man!!
