Thanks Christiane
Maybe we could hope for it to be published later

No this is a novel written after that
Peter

I have the idea from the book "Leonard Cohen on Leonard Cohen" edited by Jeff Burger. In this book it says: "He´s spent the last two years working on another novel, but withdrew it from his publishers at the last moment[This reference is apparently to an attemtempted third novel. Cohen had already f...

I understand that Leonard Cohen wrote a third novel which he withdrew in the last moment. Any one heard of this?
Peter

Do you think there will be a video for The Hills. Maybe some of the film we saw at the tribute

Peter

The Hills, seemed to have a video, will this be aired soon?
Peter

and torn
and nights

This album is much more than I hoped for

An absolutely wonderful record.
The Hills is fantastic
Moving on brings tears into the eyes

My presentation starts by someone(Adam Cohen?)
Penguin randome house Canada, Presents Book of Longing read by the auther
Peter

I understand that Adam says there will not be any more albums with Leonard Cohen. But why not. We have the full recorded voice of Leonard reading Book of Longing, why not compose music to some of those poems. I for one would buy such a record

Peter

And Cohen
Everywhere the blades turn, in every thought the butchery, it is raw where I wander

The lines about the "begger" seems to be about Roshi

Then I studied with this beggar
He was filthy, he was scarred
By the claws of many women
He had failed to disregard
No fable here no lesson
No singing meadowlark
Just a filthy beggar guessing
What happens to the heart

Peter

Wonderful song, music and lyric
Not sure if I like the video. It seems to sugest some peaceful ending, which sort of contradict the lyrics
Peter

is it time to hope for yet another song from the album?
Peter
