description: Combining spirituality with intense sexuality, and comic-book humour with deadly serious intent, Beautiful Losers revolves around a cast of four characters – a husband and wife, their ambiguous mentor, and a mythic seventeeth-century Iroquois virgin.Cohen's brilliant and controversial novel is characterized by a voice which is quite unique – lucid, tormented, nonchalant and wry. The result is one of the funniest and most original of contemporary novels.
