This book took me by surprise. What a lovely profound and unpretentious take on making art and music as a spiritual undertaking. Redemption for the selves and the other. Loved it.
A fabulous collection of conversations with Nick Cave. He talks deeply about life, grief, religion, relationships, and of course, music and art. Incredibly edifying.
