Faith, Hope and Carnage, the new book from Nick Cave & Seán O’Hagan, is out now in the UK, US, Australia, Finland, Italy and Poland. Available in hardback and on audiobook HERE.
Faith, Hope and Carnage is an extended conversation between Nick Cave and Observer journalist, Sean O’Hagan, who have known one another for thirty years. Created from over forty hours of intimate recordings, 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.
The audiobook, narrated by Nick Cave and Seán O’Hagan, and directed and produced by Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, features sixteen musical codas and elements from Carnage, Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen and includes an exclusive 12-minute conversation between Nick Cave and Seán O’Hagan.
