Beautiful Losers gained great popularity when Cohen turned from writer to popular singer-songwriter, and it is remembered for having introduced postmodernism to the Canadian literary canon. The Beautiful Loser is in love with her own Resistance. Key scenes repeat themselves, and there is no intelligible timeline. In a similar manner, the plot is not a linear, coherent progression.
