Book of Longing (2007) war der Höhepunkt einer jahrelanger gegenseitiger Bewunderung zwischen dem Komponisten Philipp Glass und dem Singer-Songwriter, Dichter und Maler Leonard Cohen (1934-2016). Der Liederzyklus basiert auf Dichtungen und Bildern Cohens. Er beschwört kongenial die unvergleichliche Magie von dessen intimer Prosa herauf. Bei einigen der Gedichte ist Cohen selbst als Sprecher zu hören.
