This book is a must for all libraries, a comprehensive record of everything John Huston directed, wrote and thought about cinema. Indespensible for all Huston fans.

Interesting work, back in print. The political perspective of Kantianism tends to reflect the legacy of classical liberalism(e.g. the Kantian Hayek), revolutionary for its time, but the inherent dialectic of the Kantian ethics proceeds to its universality as a social conundrum, which produced a most significant commentary on the socialist idea in the period of the 'back to Kant' movement at the end of the nineteenth century. This fascinating work reviews the logic and tells the history of this period and initiative, and its outcome in the era of Social Democracy leading up to the period of the Weimar collapse. These Kantians, e.g. Cohen, Vorlander, and the Marburg school,are of great historical interest still, as we forget that many of the critiques of the original Marxism now brandished by conservatives found their source in these Kantians. If only the history had been different! This corner of history was eliminated in the later stages of madness (the twenties, Eisner was assinated by early Nazis). The book is filled with all sorts of curious discussions, e.g. a critique of Hegelian teleology, Rawlsian implications, etc. It should be of interest as it will keep both left and right honest, on their, your, toes.

I love Leonard Cohen and try to read whatever is available about him. This book was so miserable, I couldn't even finish it. The person who wrote it is a whiney sycophant. This horrible drivel isn't worth the paper it's printed on. It really makes the reader hate the person who wrote it. Don't buy this, not even used for a nickel. 'Nuff said...

By far this is the worst book ever written about Leonard Cohen. To start with a good portion of the book is comprised of Leonard Cohen's poems and lyrics! The rest is badly written drivel about a man who made a fairly mediocre TV documentary about Leonard Cohen more than 20 years ago. Suffice to say that the book is nothing but a tool to vent off Mr. Rasky's anger at the world for not recognizing his 'talents' as a filmmaker. I did like the book cover but wait a minute that was taken from Leonard Cohen's last album cover as well.
