I am damned,” thinks Bunny Munro in a sudden moment of self-awareness reserved for those who are soon to die. He feels that somewhere down the line he has made a grave mistake, but this realisation passes in a dreadful heartbeat, and is gone – leaving him in a room at the Grenville Hotel, in his underwear, with nothing but himself and his appetites . . . "The Death of Bunny Munro" recounts the journey of a salesman in search of a soul. Bunny, a door-to-door salesman and lothario, takes his son on a trip along the south coast of England after the sudden death of his wife. The novel is full of the linguistic verve that has made Nick Cave one of the world's most respected lyricists. It is his first novel since the publication of his critically acclaimed and bestselling debut "And the Ass Saw the Angel" twenty years ago.
