In 2011, together with Alberto Manzano, the Canadian poet’s translator into Spain, and Jordi Vicente, we conceived a tribute book to Leonard Cohen, for which we had the help of seven other illustrators: Arnal Ballester, Sonia Pulido, Daniel Sesé, Pep Montserrat, Ima Pla, Elena Odriozola and Elisa Argilé. Each one illustrated three of Cohen’s songs. I chose The Traitor, The Guests and Anthem. Since I was a teenager, Leonard Cohen’s music has been with me. To freeze in a single image the flow of ideas and feelings that the songs provoke, renewed with each new listening, is—I presume—a small vileness not without charm. Perhaps for this reason, one of the first songs I decided to illustrate is The Traitor, the one that says “On the battlefields, from here to Barcelona,/They have put me on the list of the enemies of love.” The illustrious Mr. Cohen had an exceptional prologue by our beloved and missed Luis Eduardo Aute, who asked himself: “Does the image begin where the word ends, or is it the other way around?” Cohen himself very kindly gave us his self-portrait for the cover and sent us his blessings.
