Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

When Leonard Cohen's Let Us Compare Mythologies was first published in 1956, its author was a 22-year-old undergraduate at McGill University. Released in an edition of just a few hundred copies, the hardcover soon disappeared from bookstore shelves and into collectors' libraries. Now, more than 50 years later, Ecco has re-released this landmark volume in a facsimile of the original edition. Cohen's first book of poems holds interest both for its intrinsic work and as a field of emerging themes.
