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.

Nick Cave这段从83年开始的西柏林生活是他人生中最混乱的岁月。
他有时候变得非常富有攻击性，接受采访时态度糟糕，极为抵触媒体。
他还没有找到与这个不那么如意的外部世界取得平衡和交流的方法。
据Nick自己回忆，是写作小说《And The Ass Saw The Angel》（驴子见到天使，题目引自圣经）使他不至于崩溃。这部小说最终在1989年6月问世，先后被翻译成10种语言。ELLE杂志赞誉其为“现代史诗”。这本书最早的概念可以追溯到1984年Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds的单曲“Tupelo”。接下来一段时期的Nick歌曲创作的很大部分也可以被看作小说的平行线（比如“The Carny”、“Your Funeral... My Trial”等歌）。该书由暗淡模糊的肖像和启示录般的辞章构成，在形式上清楚无误地反映出《圣经》对Nick Cave的艺术题材的深刻影响。小说描述了一个白痴罪犯被一个私刑狂人追杀的故事。

The Death of Bunny Munro recounts the last journey of a salesman in search of a soul. Following the suicide of his wife, Bunny, a door-to-door salesman and lothario, takes his son on a trip along the south coast of England. He is about to discover that his days are numbered. With a daring hellride of a plot The Death of Bunny Munro is also a modern morality tale of sorts, a stylish, furious, funny, truthful and tender account of one man's descent and judgement. The novel is full of the linguistic verve that has made Cave one of the world's most respected lyricists. It is his first novel since the publication of his critically acclaimed debut And the Ass Saw the Angel twenty years ago.

邦尼．馬諾，
一位追尋靈魂的推銷員
很快的，他會發現自己來日無多了……
邦尼．馬諾是一名美容產品推銷員，他終日徘徊於英國的南邊海岸，販售商品和「希望」給寂寞的家庭主婦。妻子驟逝後，他不知所措，掙扎著想抓住現實感，為此，他做了一件唯一能想到的事－－拖著稚子踏上旅程。
旅途中，每當邦尼挨家挨戶地做生意，同時施展他的性魅力時，九歲的小邦尼會耐心地坐在車內，藉由手中的百科全書探索世界。
在這趟怪異而瘋狂的旅程進入尾聲之際，邦尼發現，在他內心世界中的魔鬼──年邁衰老的祖先、想復仇的情人、充滿嫉妒心的丈夫，以及頭上長角的精神病殺手－－紛紛從陰影中現身，準備向他索討報酬。
《邦尼之死》以輕柔的筆觸描繪父子之間的關係，字裡行間充滿時尚感和憤怒之情，讀來令人非常享受。書中充滿幽默與神祕的氣息，也讓讀者充分感受到凱夫的獨特魅力。

The Sick Bag Song, the new book from Nick Cave was inspired by the Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds North American tour in 2014.
It began life as notes scribbled on airline sick bags during the 22-city journey and grew into a restless, full-length, epic poem, seeking out the roots of inspiration, love and meaning. Spurred by encounters with modern day North America, and racked by romantic longing and exhaustion, Cave teases out the significant moments, the people, the books and the music that have influenced and inspired him, and drops them into his sick bag.
