    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>Twenty years after the publication of his first novel, <em>And the Ass Saw the Angel</em>, Nick Cave brings us the final days of Bunny<em> </em>Munro, a salesman in search of a soul.<br/><br/>Set adrift by his wife’s suicide and struggling to keep some sort of grasp on reality, Bunny Munro drives off in his yellow Fiat Punto, Bunny Jr. in tow. To his son, waiting patiently in the car while he peddles beauty wares and quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself seems to have only a dim awareness of his son’s existence, viewing his needs as a distraction from the relentless pursuit of sex, alcohol, and drugs.<br/><br/>When his bizarre road trip shades into a final reckoning, Bunny realizes that the revenants of his world—decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous husbands, and horned psycho-killers—lurk in the shadows, waiting to exact their toll.<br/><br/>At turns dark and humane—and with all the mystery and enigma fans will recognize as Cave’s singular vision—<em>The Death of Bunny Munro </em>questions the nature of sin and redemption, and lays bare the imprints that fathers leave on their sons.</p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A raunchified Don Giovanni, *The Death of Bunny Munro* is yet another—perhaps darker and nastier but equally as comical—retelling of the Faust myth.

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>Twenty years after the publication of his first novel, <em>And the Ass Saw the Angel</em>, Nick Cave brings us the final days of Bunny<em> </em>Munro, a salesman in search of a soul.<br/><br/>Set adrift by his wife’s suicide and struggling to keep some sort of grasp on reality, Bunny Munro drives off in his yellow Fiat Punto, Bunny Jr. in tow. To his son, waiting patiently in the car while he peddles beauty wares and quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself seems to have only a dim awareness of his son’s existence, viewing his needs as a distraction from the relentless pursuit of sex, alcohol, and drugs.<br/><br/>When his bizarre road trip shades into a final reckoning, Bunny realizes that the revenants of his world—decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous husbands, and horned psycho-killers—lurk in the shadows, waiting to exact their toll.<br/><br/>At turns dark and humane—and with all the mystery and enigma fans will recognize as Cave’s singular vision—<em>The Death of Bunny Munro </em>questions the nature of sin and redemption, and lays bare the imprints that fathers leave on their sons.</p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;<p>Twenty years after the publication of his first novel, <em>And the Ass Saw the Angel</em>, Nick Cave brings us the final days of Bunny<em> </em>Munro, a salesman in search of a soul.<br/><br/>Set adrift by his wife’s suicide and struggling to keep some sort of grasp on reality, Bunny Munro drives off in his yellow Fiat Punto, Bunny Jr. in tow. To his son, waiting patiently in the car while he peddles beauty wares and quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself seems to have only a dim awareness of his son’s existence, viewing his needs as a distraction from the relentless pursuit of sex, alcohol, and drugs.<br/><br/>When his bizarre road trip shades into a final reckoning, Bunny realizes that the revenants of his world—decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous husbands, and horned psycho-killers—lurk in the shadows, waiting to exact their toll.<br/><br/>At turns dark and humane—and with all the mystery and enigma fans will recognize as Cave’s singular vision—<em>The Death of Bunny Munro </em>questions the nature of sin and redemption, and lays bare the imprints that fathers leave on their sons.</p>&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
