Description

Autore: Ian Johnston Prefazione: Francesco Adinolfi Postfazione: Fabio Donalisio VOLUME ILLUSTRATO La prima biografia su Nick Cave, scritta con la sua collaborazione personale, è un ritratto fedele, a volte crudo, dell’epopea musicale e umana di uno degli ultimi protagonisti della “vera” musica, artista che ha vissuto sulla propria pelle l’intramontabile slogan del “sesso, droga e rock’n’roll”. Dall’Australia alla prima band londinese coi Boys Next Door / Birthday Party e la "musa" Anita Lane, passando per gli anni Ottanta assieme ai Bad Seeds e per i Novanta delle collaborazioni con Kylie Minogue e PJ Harvey, fino ai progetti garage rock degli anni Zero, con la nuova formazione dei Grinderman, e poi alla riunione con i Bad Seeds. Senza scordare le bellissime colonne sonore, a partire da Il cielo sopra Berlino (1987) fino a L'assassinio di Jesse James per mano del codardo Robert Ford (2007) e i ruoli cinematografici nelle pellicole di Wenders, i volumi di versi, nonché gli ottimi romanzi. Il tutto attraverso la descrizione dell’ambiente musicale londinese dei primi anni Ottanta, della Berlino Ovest pre-riunificazione, degli intimi anni brasiliani con Viviane Carneiro. Arrivando ai giorni nostri grazie al rigoroso e attento aggiornamento di Fabio Donalisio, il libro racconta la storia di un artista unico, la cui musica ha incarnato la visione nichilista e perdente dell’ultima generazione rock. "Impressionante… Un libro degno dell’uomo di cui parla, il che è un bel risultato". - New Musical Express "Un libro duro e irresistibile… Una biografia affascinante". - Esquire "Un manuale sul lato spaventoso del rock… scritto davvero molto bene". - The Mail "Sinceramente affascinante… notevolmente franco e sincero". - GQ "Cave ne viene fuori come un violento visionario, in posizione perennemente difficoltosa; una vita pericolosa come la sua non può non essere impressionante". - The Independent "Interessantissimo!" - Kylie Minogue
