Just look for opinons on Cohen's Beautiful Losers
I've gotten nearly all the way through it, and am impressed by Cohen's whimsical mastery of the language. Although his attitude and experiments can become a drag (not to say that his experiments are unsuccesful), it's a thoroughly engaging book.
Beautiful Losers
Here is Leonard's recent foreword to the novel (Chinese edition), I think it's very important to understanding:-)
