An interesting overview of Leonard Cohen's professional life in lovely graphic novel format.

Based on this novel, I don't like Leonard Cohen very much as a person.

This was remarkably uneventful. The illustrations were fine but all vignettes were scattered and sometimes way too brief. There didn't seem to be an overall flow. I came from the perspective of someone with very low knowledge of Cohens life and this book just sketched him as someone with addiction issues and a lifelong preoccupation with sex (apparently, according to the book, especially into women with white supremacist and antisemitic beliefs??).

Mixed feelings. The art work isn't special and it is a pretty straightforward bio but it was still a nice trip down memory lane.
