Boy on Fire : The Young Nick Cave
Nick Cave/ Boys Next Door - Paperback Book - by Mark Mordue
(2022)
An
intensely beautiful, profound and poetic biography of the formative
years of the dark prince of rock 'n' roll, Boy on Fire is Nick Cave's
creation story, a portrait of the artist first as a boy, then as a young
man. A deeply insightful work which charts his family, friends,
influences, milieu and, most of all, his music, it reveals how Nick Cave
shaped himself into the extraordinary artist he would become. A
powerful account of a singular, uncompromising artist, Boy on Fire is
also a vivid and evocative rendering of a time and place, from the
fast-running dark rivers and ghost gums of country-town Australia to the
torn wallpaper, sticky carpet and manic energy of the nascent punk
scene which hit staid 1970s Melbourne like an atom bomb.
Boy on Fire is a stunning biographical achievement.
