I've enjoyed reading Nick Cave's novel, which was amusing in the beginning, then repulsive, and in the end totally sad. Some scenes were reminiscent of the mood conveyed in many of Nick Cave's songs. Many others reminded me of a David Lynch movie (nice to see this confirmed in the review of another GR member!). I think I recognised a cameo of Nick Cave as a sax player in the delirious narrative of the apologetic performance in the closing chapters of the book.
Though I really love his music and I've enjoyed the films he has written... This book is no good at all in so many levels. I'm really disappointed.The story begins promising and little by little falls into the most obvious clichès. At the end you don't know how you managed to read this messy and poor story. Nick Cave is a great musician... But as far a this book is concerned, he is not a writer.
Nederlandstalige versie gelezen, matig boek, ergste was de vreselijke vertaling
A book that gets strangled by its own characters. Overwritten and overthought.
Very Nick Cave - dark, weird, obscene genius
