<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>At turns dark and humane, this novel is a tender portrait of the relationship between a boy and his father, with all the wit and enigma that fans will recognize as Cave's singular vision.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Set adrift by his wife's suicide and struggling to keep a grip on reality, Bunny Munro does the only thing he can think of: with his young son in tow, he hits the road. To his son, waiting patiently in the car while his father peddles beauty wares and quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself, haunted by what might be his wife's ghost, seems only dimly aware of his son's existence. <p/>When his bizarre trip shades into a final reckoning, when he can no longer be sure what is real and what is not, Bunny finally begins to recognize the love he feels for his son. And he sees that the revenants of his world--decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous husbands, and horned psycho-killers--are lurking in the shadows, waiting to exact their toll. <p/>At turns dark and humane, <i>The Death of Bunny Munro </i>is a tender portrait of the relationship between a boy and his father, with all the wit and enigma that fans will recognize as Nick Cave's singular vision.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka, and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse, and they might just come up with Bunny Munro. As it stands, though, this novel emerges emphatically as the work of one of the great cross-genre storytellers of our age; a compulsive read possessing all of Nick Cave's trademark horror and humanity, often thinly disguised in a galloping, playful romp." --<i>Irvine Welsh</i> <p/>"<i>The Death of Bunny Munro</i>, is a sexually explicit, hyperactive soap opera of a book that proves, once again, that his talents are wide-ranging. Cave is a darkly gifted storyteller . . . Cave's prose surprises throughout with flashes of grotesque beauty." --<i>Don Waters, San Francisco Chronicle</i> <p/>"As in song, Cave the novelist is unafraid to launch headlong into roaring caricature, but while the sex and death quotient is significant, the book also reveals surprising new weapons in his armoury, particularly the tenderness and humanity with which he portrays Bunny Junior, a beacon of love and faith in a ruined world . . . Told with verve, studded with scalding humour." --<i>Graeme Thomson, The Observer</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Nick Cave has been performing music for more than thirty years as the lead singer of the Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, and Grinderman. He has collaborated with Kylie Minogue, PJ Harvey, and many others. His first novel, <i>And the Ass Saw the Angel</i>, was published in 1989. Born in Australia, Cave now lives near Brighton, England.</p>
