Featuring an intimate chapter reflecting on Leonard's last days, this #1 international bestseller holds its place as the leading biography of Leonard Cohen.

An icon as a writer and musical artist, Leonard Cohen has held fascination and allure for audiences worldwide for decades. He has been one of the most important and influential songwriters of our time, a man of spirituality, emotion, grace, and intelligence, whose work explores the definitive issues of human life—sex, religion, power, meaning, love.

I'm Your Man, the internationally acclaimed and definitive biography of this enigmatic, private, and unassuming man, delves into the many facets and layers of Cohen's life. Award-winning writer Sylvie Simmons draws on Cohen's private archives and a wealth of interviews with his closest associates, his lovers and other muses past and present, with well-known artists whose work he has inspired, and with Cohen himself. Providing depth and perspective not seen before in previous works on Cohen, I'm Your Man balances the creative and personal sides of this fascinating and charismatic figure, whose poetry, novels, and songs have had a profound impact on multiple generations.
