A review by jdpellegrino99
The Favorite Game by Leonard Cohen
4.0
4 and 1/2 stars.
A lyrical meditation on youth and sexuality composed of (sometimes very loosely) connected vignettes throughout the life of Lawrence Breavman. Breavman’s relationship with Shell is especially interesting as it challenges his understanding of love.
The lyrical style of prose clearly foretells how excellent a songwriter Cohen would later become. The book is a glance into his early work and contains some semi-autobiographical element.
