I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen by Sylvie Simmons

4.0

Sylvie Simmons's I'm Your Man: The Life of Leonard Cohen is a solid biography that anyone looking to learn about Cohen's life should read. The detail and work put into this tome of a biography is simply outstanding. It's weakest points are in Simmons seemingly endless fascination with the celebrity world and Cohen's connections to famous icons of the 60's and 70's (notably Dylan, Collins and Specter). Of the 530~ pages this book consists of, perhaps 150 pages of celebrity nonsense could have been scraped. Regardless, Simmons' work is not only educational but interesting and well written. Again, I am Definitely recommending this book to anyone looking to intimately learn about Cohen's life.
