It has nothing in common with the album, with only one exception: it contains the poem "Death of a Lady's Man", which is identical to the lyrics of the album's title song. In 2009, Scottish author Alan Bissett released his third novel, Death of a Ladies' Man'', which makes references to Cohen throughout the text.
