STRANGER MUSIC Title Stranger Music Year published 1993 Publisher McClelland And Stewart Ltd., Toronto Pantheon Books, New York Pages 415 Notes ISBN Hardbound 0-679-42729-5 European edition by Jonathan Cape, London: ISBN Paperback 0-224-03860-5 Summary Presented as a definitive collection (and certainly the most complete text available of Cohen's poetry and songs), this is also in some ways his oddest, quirkiest book.  Edited by committee, it offers drastic re-writes of many poems, and completely reworks the body of MSS which made up Death of a Lady's Man.  An essential book, but not nearly as authoritative or definitive as it might seem. Summary written for The Leonard Cohen Files by professor Stephen Scobie, copyright © 1997.
