About this listen

THE SUNDAY TIMES Music Book of the Year

Faith, Hope and Carnage is a meditation on faith, art, music, freedom, grief and love.

Created from more than forty hours of intimate conversations with the journalist Seán O’Hagan, it is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Cave’s own words, of what really drives his life and creativity. The audiobook has been recorded so that the listener, especially when playing through headphones, sits between Cave and O’Hagan.

The book draws candidly on Cave’s life, from his early childhood to the present day, his loves, his work ethic and his dramatic transformation in recent years. The audiobook features 16 musical codas and elements from the Carnage, Skeleton Tree and Ghosteen albums. It also includes an exclusive, additional 12-minute conversation between Cave and O’Hagan about the production of the recording.

Faith, Hope and Carnage offers ladders of hope and inspiration from a true creative visionary.

This serial interview about music, religion, faith, loss and the overall experience of grief might sound a bit on the heavy side, but it's filled to the brim with life, the complexity and richness of it. Having listening to Nick and Sean narrating it makes it come even more alive, and it just grabbed and held me.

Profound, moving work

I was listening to this book in my art studio as I worked. I really enjoyed it! Loved the discussion, I felt inspired and moved. It made me laugh a little bit too!

Just what I needed :)

Unbearable declarations of self-identified genius as if chosen by God. No creative insights, just self-aggrandizement.

Pompous, boring and insufferable
