Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen

4.0

Beautiful Losers reads as an attempt to intermingle the purity and beauty of mysticism, extravagant eroticism(!), and the seriousness of scripture. It's a bit absurd and it's a bit genius, but I've leant toward the latter. Not wholly, as my mind is still blurred by the reading experience, but whether the book's content be by design or formed by a stream of youthful consciousness ("more of a sunstroke than a book"), it proves a fascinating insight into Leonard Cohen's mind prior to the beginning of a more refined songbook. Introduced to me by white chords. Truly grateful.
