Faith, Hope and Carnage is a meditation on faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love. Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with Seán 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.

This book took me by surprise. What a lovely profound and unpretentious take on making art and music as a spiritual undertaking. Redemption for the selves and the other. Loved it.
A fabulous collection of conversations with Nick Cave. He talks deeply about life, grief, religion, relationships, and of course, music and art. Incredibly edifying.
