Summary
Nick Cave: The Death of Bunny Munro
“If you locked Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill in a seaside apartment in Brighton, they'd probably come out with something like Bunny Munro... Cave's novel emerges as a powerful work... a captivating read…”

Nick Cave, the dark bard of rock and one of of the most influential icons of contemporary culture, in his second, long-awaited novel (again published by Šareni džuč), once again confirms all the splendor of his diverse talents! The Death of Bunny Munro is a frantic story about a recently resurrected cosmetic products dealer, a kind of "prodigal son" obsessed with countless sexual and other deviations; about his allegorical "journey to the end of the night" in search of his own soul and his phantasmagoric transformation from a lecherous cobbler to a sleazy merchant to a "living" dead man...
After such a high-quality, fierce and modern work, there is definitely no longer any doubt that Cave is setting the bar high for his new, completely serious literary career. Because this is a good and well-rounded, but above all, unusually impressive and deeply moving novel - a real discovery for superficial connoisseurs of Cave's creative work, and the ultimate reading for fans. In a word: a literary event par (s)excellence!
