An extraordinary journey into the inner world of artist and musician Nick Cave. Formed from over forty hours of candid conversations with journalist Sean OHagan, this book is less a traditional biography and more a profound meditation on a life lived through creativity, loss and transformation.

In his own words, Cave explores the forces that have shaped himfrom his early childhood in rural Australia, through the rise of The Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds, to the searing personal grief that reshaped his relationship with music, faith and the world itself. With remarkable openness, he speaks about art, spirituality, love, family, addiction and the redemptive power of work.

What emerges is not just the story of a singular artist, but a deeply human narrative of resilience and reinvention.Faith, Hope and Carnage offers a rare, intimate portrait of a man continually remaking himself in the face of both personal tragedy and creative triumph.
