info needed about a new edition of Book of Longing
One of my contributors to The LC Files, Roman Gavrilin, sent me a link to this photo (it has been posted at Flickr), This seems to be a previously unknown edition of Book of Longing. The photo has come from a person in Taiwan, but to me the letters look more Korean than Chinese. Is anyone here able to confirm the language (and other details would be appreciated, too). We need to add this edition to the Gallery of Books at http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/boflg.html!

I recognized the photo by Lorca Cohen as the same photo used on the poster advertising the opera, "Book of Longing".

Rather than a book cover, perhaps this is a CD or a DVD cover of the opera or a publication about the opera?

Re: info needed about a new edition of Book of Longing
I had edited the original photo from Flickr a bit - the original at http://www.flickr.com/photos/shihhsingju/3366321757/ suggests that it is a book rather than a CD. Indeed strange that PG is on the (book) cover!

Re: info needed about a new edition of Book of Longing
Will be much more strange to find a Glass' BoL without any mention of him on the cover...
Meanwhile, it's a possible advertising trick - to show 2 famous men instead of one.

Ah, you are not alone! But this doesn't make sense to me. Not from Glass' selection, as far as I can remember.musicmania wrote:I copied the description to Google Translate and it detected Chinese but the translation makes no sense!

So, this is a BOOK. Let's wait for more information, I wrote to the uploader.this should be a good read/

These poems are Liou Na ‧ Peter Cohen in Southern California to the mountain meditation center in Los Angeles, Montreal, writing in Mumbai, a collection of poems from his last publication has more than twenty years. This brilliant and moving collection of poetry while the poet naughty provocative paintings, these works, and speculative meditation, without beginning or end but faintly humorous poems reveal the dark side by side.
Extreme music giants Philip. Glass (Philip Glass), and "the Byron of rock ', Canadian poet, singer Liou Na. Cohen (Leonard Cohen), two of the most heavyweight artists brewing for years, for the first time in 2006, Cohen published poetry and set "the desire of the book" in the name of off the topic of cross-border cooperation.

Re: info needed about a new edition of Book of Longing
Here is the original edition of the translation in traditional Chinese, published in Taiwan by The Performing Art Review in Taipei. (I have this book. Unfortunately I am now not at home and cannot check the back cover!!)
Maybe we now have two alternative covers (front or back!) for the same book - So, after all, the mysterious edition was not in Korean but in Chinese.
Thanks for help, friends! I am sure we will solve this mystery!

Re: info needed about a new edition of Book of Longing
This seems to be a dust jacket. The colour of the cover itself is black (note a strip at the foot), so there must be - you're right, Jarkko - at least 2 different covers. This can't be a dust jacket of known light bottom edition.
P.S. - or, yes, the back cover can be black.

For those who comes to love Chinese hieroglyphs during this inquest -
and those who collects different items of LC from all over the world,
go to this Taiwan book shop, and - note the attached image with numbers:
1 - click 內容簡報 (to see this picture instead of the cover)
2 - click an arrow
So you'll get a 12-page Power Point presentation of "Book of Longing" in Chinese!
