The Sick Bag Song

Nick Cave

From Shelf: July and August pre-orders

Romantic, poetic and heartfelt, Nick Cave's Sick Bag Song is a contemporary epic, somewhere between Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and The Wasteland

The Sick Bag Song chronicles Cave's 22-city journey around North America in 2014. Racked by romantic longing and exhaustion, Cave teases out the significant moments - the people, the books and the music - that have influenced and inspired him, and drops them into his sick bag.The book began its life scribbled onto airline sick bags and later evolves into a restless contemporary epic, exploring love, loss, inspiration and memory.
