The New York Times-bestselling, definitive biography of legendary artist Leonard Cohen, now with new afterword by the author ?There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.? ? Leonard Cohen The genius behind such classic songs as Suzanne, Bird on a Wire, and Hallelejuia, Leonard Cohen was one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a man of spirituality, emotion, and intelligence whose work explored the definitive issues of human life?sex, religion, power, meaning, love. Yet before he even began recording, Cohen was an accomplished literary figure whose. poetry and novels brought him considerable recognition.
