Description

The Sick Bag Song is an exploration of love, inspiration and memory shaped around the events of Cave's 2014 tour of North America. It began life scribbled on airline sick bags during the 22-city tour. It soon grew into a restless full-length contemporary epic.

Spurred by encounters with modern day North America, and 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.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Nick Cave's The Sick Bag Song has been praised as a dark, surrealistic prose poem that combines humour, style, and honest storytelling. It is described as an exhilarating and lyrical exploration of the creative space and everyday life. The reviews highlight it as a must-read for fans of Cave's music and poetry, celebrating its unique narrative as both funny and philosophically potent. Its distinctive prose is noted for being both confusing and fantastic, illustrating Cave's signature blend of the mystic with the mundane.
