Leonard Cohen: A Personal Look
|
| Abstract |
An assessment (circa 1964) of Leonard Cohen's published early poetry and his first novel. The author describes Cohen's first two books of poetry, Let Us Compare Mythologies (1956) and The Spice-Box of Earth (1961), as having "gained distinction from other people's poems through a heavy sensuality, sometimes almost cloying, integral in nearly everything he wrote." He describes Cohens first novel, Favourite Game (1963), "Without a plot, without any "message" or insight into what it's like to be an ordinary human being and not Laurence Breavman, the book held me interested, if not spellbound, on both readings. The reason: reality seeps through somehow, with convincing detail and dialogue."
