Book Reviews of Beautiful Losers
Book Review: Rapturous disection of the human heart.
Summary: 5 Stars
Published in 1966, Cohen's Beautiful Losers is yet to be surpassed in terms of energy. The heart felt lyricism of this novel veers towards the insane - as well it should given the subject matter. The exploration of a saint's life, thrown together with the narrator's sense of bewilderment and wonder at the chaos in his own heart and the crueller chaos of the world in which he lives are thrown together into a stew of sex and devotion. Though involving Jewish, Christian and Native American traditions, this is a humanist liturgy of the highest order.
