Beautiful Losers is an experimental novel by Canadian author Leonard Cohen, published in 1966. The novel explores themes of love, loss, and spirituality through an unconventional narrative and lyrical style. Set in Montreal, the story follows a trio of characters united by their fascination with Catherine Tekakwitha, a 17th-century Mohawk saint. The novel is known for its poetic prose, its exploration of sexuality, and its blend of religious and profane elements.
