These hilarious essays on life inside and outside a Zen monastery make up the spiritual memoir of Shozan Jack Haubner, a Zen monk who didn’t really start out to be one.

How he went from life in the fast lane to life on the stationary meditation cushion is the subject of this laugh-out-loud funny account of his experiences.

Être Casanova et être un moine. Être un plaisantin et un mélancolique. Être un poète, une star, un troubadour et un ange : être Leonard Cohen. Toute sa vie, l'éternel passant aura déplié sa trajectoire en amoureux du paradoxe, sans cesser de faire ce qu'il fait le mieux : aller de ville en ville, séduire les femmes et raviver nos cœurs. Entre New York, Montréal et l'île grecque d'Hydra, Leonard Cohen : L'Homme qui voyait tomber les anges suit à la trace cette vie cosmopolite menée comme un perpétuel dialogue avec Dieu, avec soi-même et avec les avalanches.

Difficile, néanmoins, de raconter Leonard Cohen tant il y a à dire sur cet être charismatique à bien des égards et ô combien fascinant.
