KW-51-2022: Ein neues Buch in frz. Sprache: “ … un livre de profonde admiration“ , écrit Pascal Bouaziz, qui nous offre en conclusion de l’ouvrage une interview imaginaire avec le poète-chanteur Leonard Cohen

Le grand public connaît „Hallelujah“ , „Suzanne“ et quelques autres chansons. Mais l’oeuvre de Leonard Cohen est bien plus vaste et variée. Poète, romancier, chanteur, mystique, homme à femmes, Juif, bouddhiste, Canadien, citoyen du monde… qui était exactement cet artiste, qui nous a quittés en novembre 2016 ? Ce livre revient sur son parcours atypique en dix temps forts – de la publication de son premier recueil de poèmes en 1956 à sa dernière tournée et à son superbe album posthume -, prétextes à dévoiler dix facettes de sa personnalité et de son oeuvre. „Ni hagiographie, ni étude musicologique, ni enquête à charge… Mais un livre de profonde admiration“ , écrit Pascal Bouaziz, qui nous offre en conclusion de l’ouvrage une interview imaginaire avec le poète-chanteur.

Pascal Bouaziz a récemment mis un terme au groupe Mendelson avec un chef-d’oeuvre, mais n’en reste pas moins actif via de multiples projets. S’il y a une figure qui a nourri son artisanat poétique et musical, c’est bien le grand Leonard Cohen. Dans ce bel ouvrage, il dresse un portrait sensible du regretté Canadien, révélant les différentes facettes d’un poète qui ne cesse d’interroger les liens entre l’art et vie. Ce qui fait le prix de ces pages c’est aussi leur juste distance, entre admiration non feinte et refus des oeillères : on y contemple les hauts comme les failles. Empreinte de mélancolie, cette balade folk dans le parcours et l’oeuvre du songwritter procure surtout une folle envie de vivre.
