Faith, Hope and Carnage by Nick Cave, & Sean O'Hagan
Drawn from over forty hours of interviews, Faith, Hope and Carnage is a thoughtful book about Nick Cave's inner life over the last six years, a meditation on big ideas including, faith, art, music, grief and much more.
Created from over forty hours of intimate conversations with Sean O'Hagan, it is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Cave's own words, of what really drives his life and creativity.
The book examines questions of faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love. It draws candidly on Cave's life, from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his work ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years.
From a place of considered reflection, Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true creative visionary.
