Created from over forty hours of intimate conversations with Seán O’Hagan, Faith, Hope and Carnage is an exploration, in Cave’s own words, of what drives his life and creativity.

The book examines questions of faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love. It draws candidly on Cave’s life, from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his losses, his work ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years.
