It looks like the person who added the bit about the film adaptation wasn't signed in... Can anyone find anything on the 'net about this? I can't. --Hugh 12:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB lists a 1997 TV movie that appears to be just a concert with Cohen and Marianne Faithfull - it's probably just named after his book. IMDB has no director named Stephanie Marshall. I removed the section. --Grace 23:40, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article describes Kateri Tekakwitha as "mythic." Excuse me, but there's nothing mythic about her. She's every bit as historical a person as George Washington. "Mythic" should be removed. Tom129.93.65.31 04:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the quote "It is noted as being perhaps Cohen's most defiant and uninhibited work" originates from the publisher, McClelland & Stewart - is this problematic? I will work on tracking down the proper citation, anyway. Lnear (talk) 23:34, 21 September 2011 (UTC)User:Lnear[reply]
