Nick Cave

Euchrid Eucrow - outcast among outcasts. Born mute to a drunken mother and a father who spends his days building vicious traps and his nights building delicate towers of cards. Euchrid has a mind that seethes with words to express his vision of the world around him. It is Euchrid alone - ever hidden to escape the town's self-righteous rage, finding more compassion in the family mule than in his fellow man who will grasp the cruel fate of Cosey Mo, the beautiful young prostitute in the pink caravan on Hooper's hill. And as years pass and events unfold, it is Euchrid, driven farther and farther from the human fold, deeper and deeper into his mad angelic vision, who will both redeem the town and its people with his pain and sacrifice - and wreak a terrible vengeance.

The Secret Life of the Love Song and The Flesh Made Word

Seán O'Hagan

Faith, Hope and Carnage is a meditation on faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love. Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with Seán O’Hagan, it is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Cave’s own words, of what really drives his life and creativity. The book examines questions of faith, 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. From a place of considered reflection, Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true creative visionary.

La morte di Bunny Munro

La canción de la bolsa para el mareo

Bunny Munro vende productos de belleza y el azaroso perfume de la lujuria a las solitarias damas de la costa meridional inglesa. Viéndose a la deriva tras el suicidio de su mujer, se lía la manta a la cabeza y sale por última vez a la carretera con su hijo de nueve años a cuestas. Mientras el adulto farolea de puerta en puerta despachando su mercancía y tratando de complacer su inagotable apetito, el niño aguarda en el coche conversando con el espectro de su madre y contemplando la progresiva autodemolición de su padre. Acosado por maridos celosos, por su apremiante lascivia y por una hormigonera granate; consternado por los fantasmagóricos reproches de la fallecida esposa (que blande frente a él su «dedo calumnioso») y por un asesino en serie disfrazado de Satanás, Bunny Munro es un hombre hundido que zigzaguea por la vida comiéndose el mundo y masturbándose con lastimosa ferocidad. Bunny Munro es un mequetrefe y su hijo empieza a adivinarlo. Pero además va a morir, y encima lo presiente. He aquí un relato de humor lacerante, una comedia antiheroica que hiela la sangre y la risa, una amargura contada con agudeza, rabia y estilo. Nicholas Edward Cave es el cantante y letrista de la banda Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Además de cantar ha escrito otra novela (Y el asno vio al ángel) y el guión de un western brutalmente australiano titulado The Proposition. Nacido en Australia, Cave vive actualmente en Brighton.

Few stories in the history of photography are as astonishing and compelling as that of the octogenarian Czech photographer Miroslav TichyÌ. With crude homemade cameras fashioned out of cardboard and duct tape, TichyÌ took several thousand pictures of the women of his Moravian hometown of Kyjov throughout the 1960s and 70s. These pictures of women going about their daily business are at once banal and extraordinary, transforming the ordinary moments of work and leisure into small epiphanies. Blurred and off-kilter, his photographs have a striking contemporaneity, resembling the early paintings of Gerhard Richter or the photographs of Sigmar Polke. Printed imperfectly and deliberately battered, they evince a surprisingly retrograde or even antimodernist feeling, which, in the context of the Cold War atmosphere of provincial Czechoslovakia, just before and after the liberalizing moment of the Prague Spring (1968), undoubtedly constituted a kind of oblique political provocation, a nose-thumbing response to the progressive realist perfectionism of official Soviet culture. After studying at the Academy of Arts in Prague, Miroslav TichyÌ (born 1926) withdrew to a life in isolation in his hometown of Kyjov, Moravia, Czech Republic. In the late 1950s, he quit painting and became a distinctive Diogeneslike figure, in part as a political response to the social repressions of Czech communism. It is only in the past five years that his intensely private work has gained international public attention. Co-published with International Center of Photography, New York.
