Re: So Long Leonard (new Norwegian book)
Thank you. It always amazes me how writers still can find new, imaginative, moving ways to express their appreciation of LC.

Re: So Long Leonard (new Norwegian book)
took this a few minutes ago. the lady behind the counter says they are selling well. i just bought a copy (379 krones) so have not yet had time to read it. saw there were one or two interesting photos inside
leonard clapping at an open air 'a-ha' concert.

arvid skancke-knutsen writes on page 21:
i met leonard cohen in 1988, about the time his 'i'm your man' album was released. i told him i had been to a nightclub the evening before, where 'first we take manhattan' was repeatedly played over the speakers.
he put his friendly eyes onto me, and asked, "did people dance?"
i confirmed that people had danced, that the floor was packed with people.
leonard suddenly gave a smile. he then raised his slender hands into the air, making the sleeves on his elegant suit roll up - and said: "so, then i am not dead!"
