Faith, Hope and Carnage is a book about the inner life of Nick Cave. Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with journalist Seán O'Hagan, this is a deeply reflective exploration, in Cave's own words, of what really drives his life and creativity. This book examines issues of belief, art, music, freedom, pain, 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. Faith, Hope and Carnage offers hints of hope and inspiration from a true visionary.
