Description

'I walk into the corner of my room, see my friends in high places, I don't know which is which and whom is whom, they've stolen each other's faces'


Spanning Nick Cave's entire career, from his writing for The Birthday Party, through highly acclaimed albums like Murder Ballads, Henry's Dream and DIG, LAZARUS, DIG!!! up to Ghosteen and Seven Psalms, this is a must-have book for all fans of the dark, the beautiful and the defiant - for all fans of the songs of Nick Cave.


'He is an Australian artist like Sidney Nolan is an Australian artist - beyond comparison, beyond genre, beyond dispute' Evening Standard


'Cave's lyrics deal with passion on the edge, are peopled with mad bayou preachers, black-hearted lovers and killers. His language is rich, poetic, apocalyptic' Guardian


'Richly poetic creations which live a second life on the page. Essential reading' Vox


‘His lyrics – so rich in the toils of love, so committed to memory and everlasting presence – are the best-made of
his generation’ Andrew O’Hagan
