Faith, Hope and Carnage by Nick Cave and Sean O'Hagan

A Telegraph Best Book of 2022
Faith, Hope and Carnage is a book about Nick Cave's inner life.
Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with the
journalist Sean O'Hagan, this is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Cave's
own words, of what really drives his life and creativity.
The book examines questions of belief, 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.
Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true
visionary.

Nick Cave has been performing music for more than forty years and is best
known as the songwriter and lead singer of Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds,
whose latest album, Ghosteen, was widely received as their best work ever.
Cave's body of work also covers a wider range of media and modes of
expression, including film score composition, ceramic sculpture and writing
novels. Over the last few years his Red Hand Files website and Conversation
with" live events have seen Cave exploring deeper and more direct
relationships with his fans. Sean O'Hagan has interviewed many major artists,
writers and musicians over the last four decades. He currently works as a
feature writer for The Observer and is the photography critic for The Guardian
