Title |
Nietzsche as Educator:: Leonard Cohen’s Beautiful Losers and the Achievement of Innocence
|
Abstract |
The author links the relationship between the character F in Leonard Cohen's 1966 novel Beautiful Losers and Friedrich Nietzsche, the nineteenth cetury German philosopher and prose poet. As imagined by Cohen in this novel, hell is an apartment in Montreal, where a bereaved and lust-tormented narrator reconstructs his relations with the dead. The author points out that Nietzsche was driven mad by advanced tertiary syphilis and that his
first name begins with the letter F.
