About the Authors:

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.
