A review by a_violentfemme
And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave

5.0

I have been a massive fan of Nick Cave's music for at least 10 years now so maybe this review is a bit biased but I have to say I enjoyed every second of this novel. I read 'the death of bunny Munro' a couple of years ago but have only just got around to this one. I must say this by far my favourite of the 2 books. It's dark, depraved, gruesome and extremely poetic. There are definite cross overs between the imagery used here and some early bad seeds work and I felt immersed in the horrid landscape of some of my favourite songs. A must read for any Nick Cave fan!
