His first novel, And the Ass Saw the Angel, was published in 1989. SynopsisThe novel deals with Bunny Munro, a middle aged lothario whose constant womanising and alcohol abuse comes to a head after his wife's suicide. A travelling door to door beauty product salesman, he and his son go on an increasingly out-of-control road trip around Brighton, over which looms the shadow of a serial killer making his way towards Brighton, as well as Bunny's own mortality. The novel is set in Brighton in 2003, around the time the West Pier was destroyed by fire. Many of the locations and street names used in the book relate to real places close to Cave's own home.[1] ReleaseThe novel was also released as an audiobook, using a 3D audio effect produced and sound directed by British artists Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, with a soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis and in a number of Ebook formats including an iPhone application that synchronised the audiobook with the text, and included exclusive videos of Cave reading. A series of live events took place in late 2009 to promote the book under the title of "A Night with Nick Cave", combining music, readings and a Q&A session with the audience. ReceptionIrvine Welsh, Neil Labute and David Peace have all touted the novel - providing back-cover reviews. Moreover, The Death of Bunny Munro has received strong reviews from the British media: Graeme Thomson (writing in The Observer, 6 September 2009) awarded the novel four stars.[2] Likewise, the Saturday Times (on 5 September 2009) stated, in a very positive review, that the novel "reads like a good indie movie".[3]The novel was nominated for the Literary Review's Bad Sex in Fiction Award, but did not win.[4][5] Publication history
