  Beautiful Losers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beautiful Losers is a novel by Leonard Cohen.
Beautiful Losers was one of the selected novels in the 2005 edition of Canada Reads, where it was originally to be read by singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, though tour commitments meant that Wainright had to be replaced by singer Molly Johnson.
At the centre of the novel are the members of a love triangle, united by their obsessions and fascination with a mythic seventeenth-century Mohawk blessed, Tekakwitha.
