One of the best-known experimental novels of the 1960s, Beautiful Losers is Cohen’s most defiant and uninhibited work. The novel centres upon the hapless members of a love triangle united by their sexual obsessions and by their fascination with Catherine Tekakwitha, the 17th-century Mohawk saint.

By turns vulgar, rhapsodic, and viciously witty, Beautiful Losers explores each character’s attainment of a state of self-abandonment, in which the sensualist cannot be distinguished from the saint.

Arvustused

"Fuses sexuality with spirituality... mystical and profane, poetic and obscene ... an invitation to play Russian roulette with a phallic pistol."
-"Kirkus Reviews"
"Cohen is a writer of terrific energy and colour, a Rabelaisian comic and a visualizer of memorable scenes."
-"London Observer" (U.K.)
"Brilliant, explosive, a fountain of talent.... James Joyce is not dead ... he lives under the name of Cohen ... writing from the point of view of Henry Miller."
-"Boston Herald"
"A fantasied eroticism which is wildly funny.... An exciting book."
-"Sunday Times" (U.K.)
"The literary counterpart of Hair on the stage and Easy Rider on the screen."
-"Daily Telegraph "(U.K.)
"Leaves one gasping for breath as well as suitable words.... Cohen is a powerful, poetic writer."
-"Dallas Times Herald"
