Synopsis

A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Stranger Than Kindness is a journey in images and words into the creative world of musician, storyteller and cultural icon Nick Cave.

This highly collectable book invites the reader into the innermost core of the creative process and paves the way for an entirely new and intimate meeting with the artist, presenting Cave's life, work and inspiration and exploring his many real and imagined universes. It features full colour reproductions of original artwork, handwritten lyrics, photographs and collected personal artefacts along with commentary and meditations from Nick Cave, Janine Barrand and Darcey Steinke.

Stranger Than Kindness asks what shapes our lives and makes us who we are, and celebrates the curiosity and power of the creative spirit.

The book has been developed and curated by Nick Cave in collaboration with Christina Back. The images were selected from 'Stranger Than Kindness: The Nick Cave Exhibition', opening at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen in June 2020.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Nick Cave, perhaps best known as the lead singer and songwriter of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, is an artist whose output is prolific and ever-evolving. Over a creative career that spans more than 40 years, Cave has worked across a diverse number of disciplines; as a solo and collaborative musician, a score composer, a writer of books, film scripts and his weekly mailer, The Red Hand Files, and more recently as a ceramic artist. His debut novel, And the Ass Saw the Angel, was published in 1989. His second novel, The Death of Bunny Munro, was published in 2009 to critical acclaim. The Sick Bag Song, a cocktail of poetry, travel and memoir, was published in 2015; and Stranger than Kindness, an autobiographical journey in images and words, was a Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller when it was released in 2020. His 2022 book, Faith, Hope and Carnage, an extended conversation with Observer journalist, Seán O'Hagan, was a Sunday Times bestseller.

Nick Cave was born in Warracknabeal, Australia. He lives between London and Brighton with his wife, fashion designer Susie Cave.
