Nicholas Cave je austrálsky hudobník a spisovateľ, ktorého diela sa často ponárajú do temných, intenzívnych a rozmanitých tém. Jeho písanie, ovplyvnené americkou hudbou a jej koreňmi, skúma podobné motívy a jazykové štýly ako jeho hudobná tvorba. CAVE SKÚMA HLBOKÉ TÉMY, KTORÉ SA ČASTO ODRAZIA V JEHO INTENZÍVNYCH HUDBOVÝCH SKLADBÁCH, A ZANECHÁVA ČITATEĽOV S NEZABUDNUTEĽNÝM DOJMEM. Jeho literárny štýl vyniká jedinečnou energiou a širokou škálou vplyvov, čo z neho robí výraznú postavu v literatúre aj hudbe.
Uznávaný hudobník Nick Cave napísal román, ktorý má všetky predpoklady stať sa kultovým dielom! Bunny je v angličtine ušiačik, zajačik či králiček a v prenesenom zmysle slova aj záletník. Hrdina románu je typickým dobyvateľom ženských sŕdc a najmä tiel. Podomovému obchodníkovi sa však záletníctvo vypomstí: keď ho manželka pristihne in flagranti a sklamaná spácha samovraždu, ostáva s deväťročným synom Bunnym mladším a smrteľne chorým otcom Bunnym starším sám... Majstrovsky napísaný, sprvu úsmevný, ale čoraz väčšmi tragikomický príbeh o vine, treste a pokání.

"An epic narrative poem about his travels across North America ... Cave is experimenting with a new literary form--a mash-up of prose, poetry, song lyrics and autobiography--New York Times"--Page 4 of cover.
Author and singer/songwriter Cave's first book, which collects early lyrics from his recordings with The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds (up to and including the Bad Seeds' record, "Your Funeral, My Trial"), short stories and short plays. Cave's dark vision, coupled with his strong connections to primitive folk and blues music, and murder ballads in particular, has yielded an artist whose music rivals the intensity and integrity of Tom Waits and Johnny Cash.
Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets, incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare a foundling child to be chosen by the Almighty, Euchrid is disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences for them both. . . Compelling and astonishing in its baroque richness, Nick Cave's acclaimed first novel is a fantastic journey into the twisted world of Deep Southern Gothic tragedy.
