"No Ideas" (the book) by Leif Bodnarchuk

Post by jarkko »

This is something for all of us who loved Leif's blog during Leonard's tour.
This book covers two months - the European leg in August-October 2012, 31 concerts.

£13,35 at http://www.lulu.com/shop/leif-bodnarchu ... 65146.html

Two months on the road with Leonard Cohen — a real-life account of the daily fiction surrounding backstage life.

Leif Bodnarchuk is a guitar technician — a 'roadie' some might say — for the Leonard Cohen band. Join him as he minces inexorably through Europe battling the elements of outdoor concerts, confronting personal demons, and referring to himself in the third person in book descriptions. He has no idea where the narrative will go, no idea how it will end.
No ideas at all.

I just bought a copy using the link to Lulu in Jarkko's post. It cost AUD 16.50 + 8.00 postage. No problem sending to Australia. I follow Leif's blog and like the way he writes. He posted a short story a few days ago which I loved.

"No Ideas" (the book) by Leif Bodnarchuk

I bought this yesterday as a Kindle book from Amazon for only a couple of quid.

Half way through and very much enjoying. An easy read, but with some penetrating insights mixed in among the daily ups and down of touring with a band.
