From
the inside flap
“Leonard
Cohen passed away in 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 guided each other through life’s myriad obstacles, a journey told
from a new perspective for the first time. . . "
Review
Matters is
an intermittently (mostly) light and entertaining read, with its brief glimpses
of Cohen and Lerner’s interactions. These fun, sometimes heart-warming and
meaningful parts are often punctuated by story-necessary interludes about how
they met via Zen faith. If you are like me, not into religion/faith/whatever,
these sections were less than enthralling. Matters
is an okay read, worth checking out from the library.
