Description

"During David's disjointed upbringing, the comings and goings of his parents (famous Canadian poet Irving Layton and Aviva) are unannounced and unpredictable, their extramarital affairs unacknowledged but undeniable, their eventual parting no less painful for being in the best interests of all concerned. Leonard Cohen, meanwhile, is an equally enigmatic figure, the dark troubadour, suave mystic, and family friend whom Irving views as his true spiritual son and at whose home on the island of Hydra the story finds its inevitable resolution.".".is about surviving the loneliness of youth.about the wellsprings of art and creativity.the erosion of a celebrated marriage.And it's an unforgettably moving portrait of one of the mad gods of Canadian letters." (describes visits to Hydra and Lesbos) 343p. small illustrations
