Krátky popis
And the Ass Saw the Angel - Nick Cave's classic Gothic novel, in
its full and original form. Outcast, mute, a lone twin cut from a
drunk mother in a shack full of junk, Euchrid Eucrow of Ukulore
inhabits a nightmarish Southern valley of preachers and prophets,
incest and ignorance. When the God-fearing folk of the town declare
a foundling child to be chosen by the Almighty, Euchrid is
disturbed. He sees her very differently, and his conviction, and
increasing isolation and insanity, may have terrible consequences
for them both...In 2009 Cave released a cut-down version of his
novel but this reissue restores the full uncut text, as first
published in 1989. Compelling and astonishing in its baroque
richness, Nick Cave's acclaimed first novel is a fantastic journey
into the twisted world of Deep Southern Gothic tragedy. This book
will be adored by readers of Will Self, William Faulkner and
Falnnery O'Connor, as well as fans of the cult rock star
everywhere. "An explosion of linguistic bri o and Gothic
grotesquery, horrifying, funny and tragic". (Michel Faber,
Guardian). "As if a Faulkner novel had been crossed with Whistle
down the Wind and then narrated by a stoned blues musician
...heady". (Daily Telegraph). Nick Cave was born in Australia in
1957. He moved to London with his band The Birthday Party in 1990
and four years later he formed The Bad Seeds, with whom he has made
15 studio albums. In recent years he has made two albums with his
other band, Grinderman. In 1999 he curated and directed the
Meltdown Festival at London's South Bank Centre. He has also
written the soundtrack for a number of successful films including
The Assassination of Jesse James, Lawless and The Proposition. His
novel And the Ass Saw the Angel was an international bestseller,
Time Out's Book of the Year, and was reissued in the Penguin
Essential series. His second novel The Death of Bunny Monroe was
published in 2009. He lives in Brighton with his wife and two
children.
