A BOOK OF THE YEAR, ROLLING STONE, NPR, PITCHFORK, THE TIMES (LONDON), TELEGRAPH
“An astoundingly intimate book-length conversation on art and grief spanning the duration of the pandemic years . . . As with Cave’s music, you might flinch, but you will feel alive.”
― Pitchfork
Faith, Hope and Carnage is a book about Nick Cave’s inner life.
Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with the journalist Seán O’Hagan, this is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Cave’s own words, of what really drives his life and creativity.
The book examines questions of belief, art, music, freedom, grief and love. It draws candidly on Cave’s life, from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his work ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years.
Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true visionary.

This book is so powerful, thought-provoking, and all-around amazing. I’ve bought it for several special people in my life, and have sort of become evangelical about it (at a recent climbing retreat someone asked me if I get paid for the copies that I get people to buy, I was that enthusiastic about it).
I find Nick Cave’s music to be a bit of a conundrum — I love some of it and have on my favourites playlist, other songs I just cannot connect with, even whilst acknowledging that there is genius in the lyrics &/or melodies. However, one does not have to be a Nick Cave music fan to see that he is simply amazing in the depth of his genius on so many levels. The empathy and wisdom that he embodies is explored to beautifully in this book. My copy is filled with little flags for the passages that resonate, and the copy that I bought for my teenager is filled with her hand-written notes. I nearly always have a new copy on the shelf to give to someone as a gift.
If you cannot take a peek at some of the pages in it here on Amazon (sometimes they have that function), look for his Red Hand Files website and you will get a glimpse of what this book is like — a dynamic, extended version of that, sort of like the Red Hand Files as a concert.

Nick Cave is not trained as a theologian, but only theologian David Bentley Hart has done work on suffering and grief in theological terms as rich as this. Cave is a daring, honest, dazzling thinker, attending to all the necessary things. This book will break you open.

… written with a savage intelligence, tremendous wit, and a smirk for the haters. Cave is a smart, darkly funny, no nonsense commentator on the slings and arrows of being human; FH&C is a deep dive into what it takes to look inward while staring unflinchingly forward. Truthful, edgy, annoyed, enlightened – this is not a paper hug, but a wake up call to know and be true to yourself.

In one night I read 60 pages. Soooo good. Can’t wait to read another 60 pages tonight. It’s an open discussion on the spirit, loss, music and I find myself resonating to many of Cave’s exact sentiments. I picked up this book because Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers recommended it and I’m really glad I did. It’s a great read and has you thinking long after you put the book down after each read.

Suffering leads to anger; thus, one must forgive and let the journey of life unfold!

As a massive Nick Cave fan, I was eager to read this. But you don’t need to be a fan to be moved, enlightened and inspired by this intimate and revealing conversation. Should be a must-read for all humanity because his views on life, death, love, creativity, faith and division are so poignant and eye-opening.

Not in the mood to write a long review, but so came to appreciate Nick cave and how he thinks and lives. Feels like he’s a spiritual teacher in a way. Inspiring.

saw Flea going on about how great this was and like *some* Nick Cave songs but this is a pretty bleak book dealing as it does with some of the hard tragedies Cave has experienced in his life
haven’t got through it and it’s fallen out of the current reading so not sure I will get back to finish it…hard to see a payoff as it’s got a sort of grim stark tone in its interview format
