For over forty years, Leonard Cohen endured the ups and downs of an international career that alternately identified him as the 'Prince of Bummers' and Canada's best known and most respected poet and performer.

Given access to Cohen's private archive of unpublished letters, journals, notebooks, songs, and other writings, and incorporating interviews with Cohen and his closest friends and colleagues, Ira Nadel gives us a meticulously detailed and insightful portrait of this singular artist up to 1996..
