Un ballet de leprosos

A Leper Ballet is the title of an unpublished novel that Leonard Cohen wrote in his early twenties, long before his talent was reflected in more than twenty albums and six Grammy Awards and he achieved worldwide fame. It tells the story of a young man whose life suffers an irreparable upheaval when he is forced to take in his grandfather, whom he doesn't know and who he grows fond of despite his toxic and indomitable character. Brilliant, awkward and provocative, Cohen considered this sarcastic and merciless novel the best he had ever written.Together with her, several stories and a script written in her early youth are also published for the first time and that revolve around shame, anger, sexual desire or longing, and investigate the demons of each of her characters, in those of us who often discover an alter ego of the author himself. A book that reveals to us the great artist and visceral genius as we have never seen him before.
