In the late seventies, while Suzanne was dancing on the renaissance festival circuit in Minnesota, she became good friends with a woman whose eleven-year-old daughter would grow up to be the writer Cheryl Strayed. Suzanne showed me her copy of Strayed’s memoir, Wild, which had a thoughtful inscription from the author inside.
LC's song Suzanne was featured in the movie soundtrack of Wild as I posted in 2014 - https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... ld#p349759
