Pally Professor Marcia (New York University Usa) - From This Broken Hill I Sing To You God Sex And Politics In The Work Of Leonard Cohen - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Leonard Cohen's troubled relationship with God is here mapped onto his troubled relationships with sex and politics. Analysing Covenantal theology and its place in Cohen's work this book is the first to trace a consistent theology across sixty years of Cohen's writing drawing on his Jewish heritage and its expression in his lyrics and poems. Cohen's commitment to covenant and his anger at this God who made us so prone to failing it undergird the faith frustration and sardonic taunting of Cohen's work. Both his faith and ire are traced through: Cohen's unorthodox use of Jewish and Christian imagery His writings about women politics and the Holocaust His final theology You Want It Darker released three weeks before his death.
