? About THE DEATH OF BUNNY MUNRO

?I am damned,? thinks Bunny Munro in a sudden moment of self-awareness reserved for those who are soon to die.

Bunny is a salesman in search of a soul. He is soon to discover his days are numbered . . .

Bunny Munro sells beauty products and the dream of hope to lonely housewives along the south coast of England. Set adrift by his wife?s sudden death and struggling to keep a grip on reality, he does the only thing he can think of ? with his young son in tow, he hits the road.

Praise for THE DEATH OF BUNNY MUNRO

?Put Cormac McCarthy, Franz Kafka and Benny Hill together in a Brighton seaside guesthouse and they might just come up with Bunny Munro. A compulsive read possessing all Nick Cave?s trademark horror and humanity.? Irvine Welsh

?THE DEATH OF BUNNY MUNRO is not just a wonderful read, it's also a heartbreaking one. Cave writes novels like he does lyrics, with strokes of blood and sulphur and lightning. He strikes at the mind and heart and is able to bring his readers to their knees? Neil LaBute

?Cocksman, Salesman, Deadman; Bunny Munro might not be Everyman, but every man ought to read this book. And read it half in stitches, half in tears.? David Peace
