Letters, love and loss: How my thirty-year friendship with Leonard Cohen has endured beyond the grave
CS Lewis was right when he said “friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... it has no survival value; rather it’s one of those things which give value to survival”.

One or two have lasted beyond the grave.
