Good morning Cohen forum,
I am studying "Book of Mercy" and I am hoping to find some discussion and critique. Do you have a link?

Hi Terry-Lynn

Years ago, Doron (aka DBCohen) started a bunch of seperate threads to discuss the Book of Mercy. I didn't follow the threads at the time, but always wanted to bundle them again to read one day. Your question has speeded up my idea, so here are all the threads listed below:

#1-5: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=7801
#6-7: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=8074
#8-10: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=8075
#11-15: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=8076
#16-19: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=8503
#20-24: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=8910
#25-26: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=9434
#27-28: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=9765
#29-40: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... =10&t=9987
#41-45: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... 10&t=14702
#46-50: https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... 10&t=20040

There's a lot of reading to do... :-)

All the best
Maarten

Don't laugh but it is 50 shades of grey! I'm not freak about all that bdsm stuff, I just want to understand why there was so much hype! 8)

"The Genius of Birds" by Jennifer Ackerman

A fascinating account on the splendid cognitive abilities of birds.

Maarten,
Thank you for your effort of posting these threads. I am planning a critique on "Hallelujah" and these will be of help. So, it looks like a bit of study ahead to keep me busy -- ier. Of course, my take is the Hallelujah is broken in the sense of being in the presence of "G-d" as supported with Cohen's last line in Book of Mercy. It is of interest that lyrics differ from the poem, also, and with some verses omitted on publication and I wonder if anyone has tracked these differences.
