The Death of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave
Bunny is a salesman in search of a soul. He is soon to discover his days are numbered . . . Set adfrift by his wife's death, and struggling to keep a grip on reality after his wife's death, Bunny Munro does the only thing he can think of: with his young son in tow, he hits the road. An epic chronicle of one man's judgement, The Death of Bunny Munro is also an achingly tender portrait of the relationship between father and son.
What truly elevates the novel is not Cave's thesis, but the smoothness of the prose and masterful combination of black comedy and sentiment * * Independent * *
In its own twisted way The Death of Bunny Munro is a plea for love in a world rancid with lust.. Bunny's bad boy charm makes it all too easy to go along for the ride * * Metro * *
The narrative pulses with demented musical energy ... it is in every other sense a rock'n'roll novel * * Financial Times * *
Cave makes you shudder and sob simultaneously... * * Guardian * *
In the sense of narrative animation, and also in the sense of cultural significance, the book is a vital one, and is to be welcomed and celebrated * * Daily Telegraph * *
Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with The Death of Bunny Munro. A compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave's trademark horror and humanity. * * Irvine Welsh * *
Cocksman, Salesman, Deadman; Bunny Munro might not be Everyman, but every man ought to read this book. And read it half in stitches, half in tears. * * David Peace * *
Cave stands as one of the great writers on love of our era. * * Will Self * *
The Death of Bunny Munro is not just a wonderful read, it's also a heartbreaking one. Cave writes novels like he does lyrics, with strokes of blood and sulphur and lightning. He strikes at the mind and heart and is able to bring his readers to their knees. * * Neil LaBute * *
