4.0

Apparently Leonard Cohen’s original manuscript was much longer and he had to cut a good deal of it. I think that does come across. A series of sketches and moments in a young man’a life. There is an absence of coherence and trajectory, purposely so. Some really beautiful lines in this book - as you would expect from Leonard Cohen.
