Biographer Michael Posner chronicles the full breadth of Leonard Cohen's extraordinary life. The first of three volumes - The Early Years - follows him from his boyhood in Montreal to university, and his burgeoning literary career to the world of music, culminating with his first international tour in 1970. Through the voices of those who knew him best, Posner probes deeply into both Cohen's public and private life. It also paints a portrait of an era, the social, cultural, and political revolutions that shook the 1960s.
