Summary:
"A memoir of the author's decades-long
friendship
and spiritual journey with the late singer, songwriter, novelist, and poet
Leonard
Cohen
Leonard
Cohen
passed away in late 2016, leaving behind many who cared for and admired him, but perhaps few knew him better than longtime friend Eric Lerner. Lerner, a screenwriter and novelist, first met
Cohen
at a Zen retreat forty years earlier. Their
friendship
helped guide each other through life's myriad obstacles, a journey told from a new perspective for the first time. Funny, revealing, self-aware, and deeply moving,
Matters
of
Vital
Interest
is an insightful memoir about Lerner's relationship with his friend, whose idiosyncratic style and dignified life was deeply informed by his spiritual practices. Lerner invites readers to step into the room with them and listen in on a lifetime's ongoing dialogue, considerations of
matters
of
vital
interest
, spiritual, mundane, and profane. In telling their story, Lerner depicts
Leonard
Cohen
as a captivating persona, the likes of which we may never see again."--From publisher.
