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

4.5

Nick Cave thinks he wrote a book about a prophet fed obscenities by God, Jesus struck dumb, the Chosen One without the capacity to actualise; he actually wrote a book about the ability of humankind to create myth and God from nothing more than stories and coincidence, centred around the warped life of a poor mute boy with schizophrenia, raised by abusive alcoholics in a town where difference means death.
