Description
The full, original text of Nick Cave's classic Gothic novel 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.
Author Biography
Nick Cave has been writing and performing music for more than forty years and is best known as the songwriter and lead singer of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, with whom he has recorded seventeen studio albums. The band have been documented in two feature films- the BAFTA- and Sundance-winning 20,000 Days on Earth (2014) and the Grammy nominated One More Time With Feeling (2016). Nick Cave's novels And the Ass Saw the Angel (1990), The Death of Bunny Munro (2009) and The Sick Bag Song (2015) are international bestsellers, and he is an acclaimed film score composer and screenplay writer. Born in Australia in 1957, Cave now lives in England.
