Amen to that!

Hi Louis! Thanks for the thoughtful response, very nice of you to take the time. I am, of course, aware of that "possible option" (I didn't say that my list was exhaustive ;-) ), as well as the fact that an awful lot of people seem to believe it. However, I shall be polite and refrain fro...

..."why would God allow atrocities such as the Holocaust to happen?"... Ah, yes, the eternal "Problem of Evil" for those who choose to believe in an omnipotent, benevolent, and omniscient God. There is, of course, no answer to this question, at least not one that will satisfy ev...

In The Spice-Box of Earth, Cohen dedicated the poem "Isaiah" to "G.C.S." Does anyone know the identity of the dedicatee?

Best,

Thanks so much! I did find that other interview, and you're right about it being interesting!

If anyone has a recording of the audio from the one with Anjani, or is aware of a transcript that's available somewhere, please let me know.

Best,
