Summary "David Bowie & Leonard Cohen – encounters & memories as Vol. 5 of “The Cohenpedia Series” is a book about thoughts in the fifth year of death of two legends and the art to turn mortality to music and the question of how David Bowie and Leonard Cohen musically faced death. The book documents a few memorable encounters of two unforgettable pop-culture personalities through word and image. This includes two conversations between the author and the artists, snapshots from the lives of "Bowie & Cohen", concert accounts from their last tours and album reviews. The presented texts have been partially or fully released from 1990 to 2020. They were not overhauled and view themselves as momentary recordings of their time, as a memory of an encounter. To date, more than 400 mostly unpublished photos, as well as a timeline of both artists compliment the continuation of "The Cohenpedia-Series". An essay about the art of turning mortality into music and the answer to the question, how David Bowie and Leonard Cohen musically confronted death, complete the existing Volume Nr. 5."
