LEONARD COHEN - GEBRAUCHT BEAUTIFUL LOSERS - PR...

One of the best-known experimental novels of the 1960s  this uninhibited tale centres on the
hapless members of a love triangle  and their sexual obsession and shared fascination with a
mythic saint.  Revolving around four central - and intrinsically flawed - characters 
'Beautiful Losers' is the frank and humorous story of a nameless narrator  his wife Edith 
their domineering friend and mentor 'F' and Catherine Tekakwitha  a mythic 17th-century Mohawk
virgin saint. The complexities of this three-way love  pain and lust are sent spiralling by the
death of Edith and 'F' at the novel's start  leading the damaged narrator to question the
nature of love  sexuality and spirituality in a series of explicit flashbacks.  The
extraordinary and inimitable singer-songwriter's classic novel  this is Leonard Cohen's most
critically acclaimed literary work  echoing the dark poetry and wry humour of his timeless
songs of loss  love  sex and religion.  Not just an extremely funny novel  but an incredibly
original and explicit examination of friendship  sex and spirituality.
