{"product_id":"the-favourite-game-von-leonard-cohen","title":"The Favourite Game","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis warm and lyrical semi-autobiographical first novel by singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen charts the coming of age of Lawrence Breavman, the only son of a Jewish Montreal family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the world is made flesh.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLawrence Breavman seeks two things: love and beauty. Beginning with the innocent games of delicious misadventure with first love Lisa and the absorbing wanders through Montreal with best friend Krantz, Breavman's tale is a distant echo of 'Catcher in the Rye' and 'Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' - injected with 1960s aesthetics and Cohen's unique poetry. As Breavman grows into a young man, the emerging writer continues his quest for beauty and love, finding himself in the arms of Shell and a burgeoning realisation of his own talent for appreciating majesty in the grotesque.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSemi-autobiographical, the angst and beauty of Cohen's voice deftly channel the painful confusion of the journey into adulthood, and the friendships, wars and lovers that are our guides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780007318391\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780007318391","offer_id":60074526572869,"sku":"9780007318391","price":14.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/73461_068e6661-a662-4db2-8316-92b8aca3ffaa.jpg?v=1793854930","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/the-favourite-game-von-leonard-cohen","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
