A review by 21stcenturyfox
Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen
2.0
A picture of Montreal, sleazy love triangle in the most factual way, and the sainthood of Catherine Tekakwitha.
This book must've been borne by a heavy use of amphetamines, as a former avid Beat literature reader, I know it when I see it, apologies to Leonard Cohen if I'm wrong. The writing is pretty interesting. It's a book about sex and sainthood with pretty contrasting writing between the topics. It goes from an essay about Montreal, st. Catherine, and indigenous people to sexual and at times frantic tangent.
I didn't expect there'd be many sex scenes. I'm not a prude and it wasn't badly written, but they're not arousing me personally. It WAS written in between the story of a saint who died a virgin, but I felt wetter when I watched that Martin Scorsese Jesus film than reading this book.
It wasn't horrible, but with all due respect, music was the right career path for Leonard Cohen.
