One of the best-known experimental novels of the 1960s, "Beautiful Losers" is Cohen's most defiant and uninhibited work. The novel centres upon the hapless members of a love triangle united by their sexual obsessions and by their fascination with Catherine Tekakwitha, the 17th-century Mohawk saint. By turns vulgar, rhapsodic, and viciously witty, "Beautiful Losers" explores each character's attainment of a state of self-abandonment, in which the sensualist cannot be distinguished from the saint. "From the Paperback edition."

2. I am a well-known folklorist, an authority on the A––s, a tribe I have no intention of disgracing by my interest. There are, perhaps, ten full-blooded A––s left, four of them teen-age girls.

There are, perhaps, ten full-blooded A––s left, four of them teen-age girls. I will add that F. took full advantage of my anthropological status to fuck all four of them. Old friend, you paid your dues. The A––s seem to have made their appearance in the fifteenth century, or rather, a sizable remnant of the tribe. Theirbrief history is characterized by incessant defeat. The very name of the tribe, A––, is the word for corpse in the language of all the neighboring tribes. There is no record that this unfortunate people ever won a single battle, while the songs and legends of its enemies are virtually nothing but a sustained howl of triumph. My interest in this pack of failures betrays my character. Borrowing money from me, F. often said: Thanks, youold A––! Catherine Tekakwitha, do you listen? (收起)2011-04-19 16:02:23 回应

Who are you? Are you (1656-1680)? Is that enough?Are you the Iroquois Virgin? Are you the Lily of the shores of the Mohawk River? Can i love you in my own way? I am an old scholar, better-looking than when I was young. That's what sitting on you ass do your face. I've come after you, Catherine Tekakwitha. I want to know what goes on under that rosy blanket. Do i have any right? I fell in love... (更多)Who are you? Are you (1656-1680)? Is that enough?Are you the Iroquois Virgin?Are you the Lily of the shores of the Mohawk River? Can i love you in my own way? I am an old scholar, better-looking than when I was young. That's what sitting on you ass do your face. I've come after you, Catherine Tekakwitha. I want to know what goes on under that rosy blanket. Do i have any right? I fell in love with a religious pictures of you. You were standing among birch trees, my favorite trees. God knows how far up your moccasins were laced. There was a river behind you, no doubt the Mohawk River. Two birds in the left foreground would be delighted if you trickled their white throats or even if you used them as an example of of something or other in parable. Do I have any right to come after you with my dusty mind full of the junk of maybe five thousand books? I hardly even get out to the country very often. Could you teach me about leaves? Do you know anything about narcotic mushrooms? Lady Marilyn just died a few years ago. May I say that some old scholar four hundred years from now, maybe of my own blood, will come after her in the way I come after you? But right now you must know more about heaven. Does it look like one of these little plastic altars that glow in the dark? I swear I won't mind if it does. Are the stars tiny, after all? Can an old scholar find love at last and stop having to pull himself off every night so he can get to sleep? I don't even hate books any more. I've forgotten most of what I've read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world. My friend F. used to say in his hopped-up fashion: We've got to learn to stop bravely at the surface. We've got to learn to love appearances. F. died in a padded cell, his brain rotted from too much dirty sex. His face turned black, this I saw with my own eyes, and they say there wasn't much left of his prick. A nurse told me it looked like the inside of a worm. Salut F., old and loud friend! I wonder if your memory will persist. And you, Catherine Tekakwitha, if you must know, I am so human as to suffer from constipation, the rewards of a sedentary life. Is it any wonder I have sent my heart out into the birchtrees? Is it any wonder that an old scholar who never made much money wants to climb into your Technicolor postcard? (收起)2011-04-19 15:49:48 回应

- Hill(蚂蚁好好吃!) 从来没有一个人像Leonard Cohen一样,给我这种感觉,仅仅听他的歌就感觉是在和他谈恋爱 13岁就开始学弹吉他,只为讨女孩子欢心 女人多得数不胜数,情史可以编成一部百科全书 比起Keith Richards的放荡糜烂,他更喜欢穿严肃的黑色西装,咖啡和烟绝对不能离手 当Bob Dylan还在模仿翻唱别人...... (6回应)2008-12-02 9/9有用
