Summary:

Recently, Leonard Cohen, was in touch with award-winning filmmaker Harry Rasky and expressed to Mr. Rasky his admiration and great delight in the 1982 documentary. Inspired by that conversation, Harry Rasky had now recreated the text of that film, the diaries and interviews upon which the film is based and has woven all the elements into a moving and powerful text on Leonard Cohen. Musician? Poet? Songwriter? Novelist? Entertainer? In "The Song of Leonard Cohen: Portrait of a Poet, a Friendship and a Film, we gain important new insight into the perplexing and critical period of the making of the artist - Leonard Cohen. In addition, the book also contains Harry Rasky's never before published diaries on Bob Dylan. Harry Rasky was once at work preparing a documentary film on Bob Dylan which was never completed. "In The Song of Leonard Cohen: Portrait of a poet, a Friendship and a Film, we will find - for the first time - new materials on Bob Dylan and the peculiar interconnections between the two poets and songwriters who have altered the course of music history and defined the sensibility of two generations.
