‘Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with

Bunny Munro. A compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave’s trademark horror and humanity.’

IRVINE WELSH

‘The Death of Bunny Munro is not just a wonderful read, it’s also a heartbreaking one. Cave writes novels like he does lyrics,

with strokes of blood and sulphur and lightning. He strikes at the mind and heart and is able to bring his readers to their knees.’

Neil LaBute

‘Cocksman, Salesman, Deadman; Bunny Munro might not beEveryman, but every man ought to read this book. And read

it half in stitches, half in tears.’DAVID PEACE

Bunny Munro sells beauty products and

the dream of hope to lonely housewives

along the south coast of England. Set

adrift by his wife’s sudden death and

struggling to keep a grip on reality, he

does the only thing he can think of – with

his young son in tow, he hits the road.

While Bunny plies his trade and his

sexual charisma door-to-door, nine-year-

old Bunny Junior sits patiently in the car,

exploring the world through the pages of

his encyclopaedia.

As their bizarre and increasingly frenzied

road trip shears into a final reckoning,

Bunny finds that the ghosts of his world

– decrepit fathers, vengeful lovers, jealous

husbands and horned psycho-killers –

have emerged from the shadows and are

seeking to exact their toll.

A tender portrait of the relationship

between father and son, The Death of Bunny Munro is a stylish, angry and

hugely enjoyable read, bursting with the

wit and mystery that fans will recognise as

hallmarks of Cave’s singular vision.

The lead singer of The Birthday Party,

The Bad Seeds and Grinderman, Nick

Cave has been performing music for more

than 30 years. He has collaborated with

Kylie Minogue, PJ Harvey and many

others. As well as working with Warren

Ellis on the soundtrack for the film of

The Road by Cormac McCarthy and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, he also wrote the screenplay

for the film The Proposition. His debut

novel And the Ass Saw the Angel was

published in 1989.

Born in Australia, Cave now lives

in Brighton.
