A meditation on faith, art, music, grief and much more from cultural icon and bestselling author Nick Cave. Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with the journalist Seán OHagan, this is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Caves own words, of what really drives his life and creativity.
The book examines questions of belief, art, music, freedom, grief and love. It draws candidly on Caves life, from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his work ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years.
Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true visionary.
