Description
Boy on Fire: The Young Nick Cave is a deeply insightful biography that charts the formative years of the artist who would become one of rock 'n' roll's most iconic figures. Mark Mordue's masterful portrayal reveals how Nick Cave shaped himself into the extraordinary musician he became.
This powerful account explores the influences, milieu and music that defined Nick Cave's early life, from his family and friends to the fast-running dark rivers and ghost gums of country-town Australia, and the manic energy of the nascent punk scene in 1970s Melbourne. A vivid and evocative rendering of a time and place, Boy on Fire is a stunning biographical achievement.
