In \u003ci\u003eBack to a Shadow in the Night\u003c\/i\u003e, his music interviews and essays – covering an astonishingly wide range of artists and styles – are collected for the first time in one volume. From pondering the links between Patti Smith and Rimbaud to revealing the introverted and eccentric mind of Glenn Gould, Cott consistently provides probing and fascinating dialogues in his interviews. In this collection, John Lennon gives insights on surviving fame four days before his murder, Bob Dylan contemplates identity in his film \u003ci\u003eRenaldo and Clara\u003c\/i\u003e, and Lou Reed explores the nihilism of New York City and the best lines he's ever written, to name but a few topics. Cott's independent writing on the music world is equally stimulating. With interwoven strands of Eastern philosophy and classical music, nursery rhymes and rock and roll, Cott's musings have a beauty and texture all their own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJonathan Cott\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of 12 books including \u003ci\u003eIsis and Osiris: Exploring the Goddess Myth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCity of Earthly Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHe Dreams What Is Going On Inside His Head\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Search for Om Sety\u003c\/i\u003e.
