In the decades since he recorded his first album, Leonard Cohen has evolved into an international cult figure–and one of the most literate, daring, and affecting poet-songwriters in the world. Stranger Music presents a magnificent cross-section of Cohen’s work–including the legendary songs “Suzanne,” “Sisters of Mercy,” “Bird on a Wire,” “Famous Blue Raincoat,” “I’m Your Man,” and “The Future”; selections from such books as Flowers for Hitler, Beautiful Losers, and Death of a Lady’s Man, and eleven previously unpublished poems. This volume demonstrates definitively that Cohen is a writer of dazzling intelligence and a force that transcends genres.
