Summary

Diario íntimo visual y escrito， un viaje al universo creativo de uno de los músicos más grandes y singulares de nuestro tiempo

Más extraño que la bondad nos ofrece una fascinante mirada íntima al universo creativo de uno de los artistas más relevantes del panorama musical contemporáneo， Nick Cave。 A través de fotografías， libretas de apuntes， letras de canciones escritas a mano y una colección de objetos artísticos que moldearon su muy particular imaginario， este libro traza el origen y desarrollo de una imponente carrera musical， a la manera de un rompecabezas donde cada una de las piezas contribuye a formar una imagen cuyo rostro nos resulta sumamente familiar。 Y es el propio Cave quien ofrece a los lectores una visita guiada por cada una de las paradas que lo condujeron al estrellato。

Se trata de una suerte de diario íntimo visual y escrito en el que se registran los deseos， fantasías， temores y obsesiones de ese artista tan radicalmente único que es Nick Cave。 Una celebración de los misterios del proceso creativo en tanto que lenguaje universal， que en el caso de Cave ha logrado conectar con millones de personas a lo largo del planeta。 Un viaje en el que música， poesía， fotografía， pintura y devoción por el rock n’ roll convergen como testimonio de una de las expresiones musicales más estremecedoras de las últimas décadas。

It’s perfect for what it is。 I saw Nick Cave for the second time last week and it was magical， something between a horror movie and a religious ceremony。 What a performer， what an artist。 The concept is so clear， always been。 Not much to read， but much to take in。

It's Nick Cave， so it's awesome and you should find a copy and buy it and revel in its awesomeness。 I have enormous respect for Nick Cave and his artistic genius and intellectual depth， so any book that details aspects of either of these is always going to be part of my library。 And one I will return to when needed。 It's Nick Cave， so it's awesome and you should find a copy and buy it and revel in its awesomeness。 I have enormous respect for Nick Cave and his artistic genius and intellectual depth， so any book that details aspects of either of these is always going to be part of my library。 And one I will return to when needed。 。。。more

Antonio Delgado ，

Stranger than Kindness is a humanistic hagiography of the many contradictions and assertions of Nick Cave。 If religion matters it is because it becomes part of the god one becomes。

All things nick cave in one beautiful book

Darlene Laguna ，

For what it is， completely terrific。 A weird collection of weird things from the life of a creative， generous multimedia artist。 Beautiful and at times very dark， but always poignant。

Jeff Raymond ，

I've gotten into Nick Cave quite a bit as of late and snagged this from the library。 This was published alongside an Australian art installation surrounding Cave and was a really interesting window into the creative process that I wish existed for more artists and musicians on a whole。 I've gotten into Nick Cave quite a bit as of late and snagged this from the library。 This was published alongside an Australian art installation surrounding Cave and was a really interesting window into the creative process that I wish existed for more artists and musicians on a whole。 。。。more

Catherine ，

this book is fantastic as a coffee table book if you are a huge fan of nick cave！！！ his collection of art， lyrics and photos somehow tell a lot about nick cave without really saying much …。 loved this as a huge nick cave fan！

Alasdair ，

If you are a devotee of Cave and his extraordinary and rich world with its gothic architecture built on foundations of the Bible， mythology， Elvis and outlaws， this is a treasure trove and a fascinating glimpse of artistic creativity at work。 If not， it will be utterly perplexing。

I'd hoped to visit the exhibition in Copenhagen but that fell through， due to Covid。 This was my consolation prize and it didn't disappoint。 A coffeetable book to browse and enjoy visually， but also to read bits and pieces occasionally。Also a conversation piece as it happens， with visitors: bot the fascinated as the repulsed。 I'd hoped to visit the exhibition in Copenhagen but that fell through， due to Covid。 This was my consolation prize and it didn't disappoint。 A coffeetable book to browse and enjoy visually， but also to read bits and pieces occasionally。Also a conversation piece as it happens， with visitors: bot the fascinated as the repulsed。 。。。more

Benjamin Van Buren ，

I love Nick Cave and this book was a gorgeously designed look at a variety of artifacts from his illustrious career but…I wanted more。 More of his life in his own words。 More photos and anecdotes and stories from the Birthday Party and the Bad Seeds。 More more more。 Okay I’m being ridiculous。 This book wasn’t exactly what I expected but will serve as a solid stopgap until the man delivers his definitive autobiography to us。

"You seize the unknowable fragments and begin to put yourself back together again"。This is a raw look into the mind and soul of Nick Cave。 His music and books have come from some of these moments， these fragments。 We see a troubled soul， a larrikin， a dishevelled devil， and a pondering provocoteur。 You cannot ignore he has style and grace。 It is easy to get carried away with this book and forget this is but a glimpse of an artist at work， and someone willing to feel every emotion， all at once an "You seize the unknowable fragments and begin to put yourself back together again"。This is a raw look into the mind and soul of Nick Cave。 His music and books have come from some of these moments， these fragments。 We see a troubled soul， a larrikin， a dishevelled devil， and a pondering provocoteur。 You cannot ignore he has style and grace。 It is easy to get carried away with this book and forget this is but a glimpse of an artist at work， and someone willing to feel every emotion， all at once and not at all， simultaneously。Nick Cave isnt a sentimental soul， and I did not get the Impression that this was a lovely trip down memory lane for anyone， but what it does is present visual stories of his creativity: we have already been graced with his lyrics， melodies and words， and this book adds another dimension to his repertoire。"Everyone who goes on a mission is an angel。 The angel in this way of thinking is the imagination itself。" 。。。more

This beautifully designed coffee table book is a treasure trove for Cave fans: Accompanying an exhibition in Copenhagen， the book shows photos of Cave artifacts， from handwritten lyrics to notes about his novels， hand-made books， doodles， postcards， a letter from his school headmaster scolding him， religious objects and imagery， things he bought at flea markets that went on to inspire his work， pictures of a young Cave and his family and images of him with Anita Lane， Susie Cave etc。 It's wonder This beautifully designed coffee table book is a treasure trove for Cave fans: Accompanying an exhibition in Copenhagen， the book shows photos of Cave artifacts， from handwritten lyrics to notes about his novels， hand-made books， doodles， postcards， a letter from his school headmaster scolding him， religious objects and imagery， things he bought at flea markets that went on to inspire his work， pictures of a young Cave and his family and images of him with Anita Lane， Susie Cave etc。 It's wonderful to look at the expensively produced pages until， at the very end， we get little explanations of the things we've seen and what they mean to their owner。 The book also contains a longer text by Darcy Steinke。You can learn more about "Stranger Than Kindness" in our latest podcast episode （in German， as the book is now available with an extra booklet containing the German translations of the texts）。 。。。more

Since I was not going to be able to make it to Copenhagen for the exhibit （thank you Covid） this book was going to have to do。 It did not disappoint。

Eric ，

Impulse buy。 On one hand， this is a pretty cool book。 Loads of weird Nick Cave pictures and ephemera， not all of it rational。 Why include specific pages of a self-created book and not more lyric reprints？ These kinds of things kind of bothered me as I read this。 In the end， this is really more of an adults only coffee table book。 Outside of providing the artifacts， it doesn't seem like Cave had a lot to do with this book。 There is a smattering of blurbs and briefly written descriptions， but the Impulse buy。 On one hand， this is a pretty cool book。 Loads of weird Nick Cave pictures and ephemera， not all of it rational。 Why include specific pages of a self-created book and not more lyric reprints？ These kinds of things kind of bothered me as I read this。 In the end， this is really more of an adults only coffee table book。 Outside of providing the artifacts， it doesn't seem like Cave had a lot to do with this book。 There is a smattering of blurbs and briefly written descriptions， but the one piece of writing - an essay by Darcey Steinke - is kind of a mess。 My favorite part was the "Contextualisation" section where each artifact is explained。 Super weird， but what can one expect？ Definitely worth owning， but for serious fans only。 。。。more

Wie gerne würd ich gerade durch die Museumsräume der Nick-Cave-Exhibition in Kopenhagen laufen。 Da das zurzeit nicht geht， was bleibt da anderes übrig， als sich in die Welt der Bücher zu flüchten。 Dieses Jahr ist im Kiwi Verlag das passende Buch dazu erschienen。Nick Cave ist als Künstler， als auch als Mensch， schwer einzuordnen。 Seine Musik schwangt von schreienden Punk-Songs hin zu melancholischen Balladen mit feinfühligen Texten。 Als Mensch wirkt er in Interviews oft wie ein Punk-Intellektuell Wie gerne würd ich gerade durch die Museumsräume der Nick-Cave-Exhibition in Kopenhagen laufen。 Da das zurzeit nicht geht， was bleibt da anderes übrig， als sich in die Welt der Bücher zu flüchten。 Dieses Jahr ist im Kiwi Verlag das passende Buch dazu erschienen。Nick Cave ist als Künstler， als auch als Mensch， schwer einzuordnen。 Seine Musik schwangt von schreienden Punk-Songs hin zu melancholischen Balladen mit feinfühligen Texten。 Als Mensch wirkt er in Interviews oft wie ein Punk-Intellektueller mit viel Humor， auf der Bühne hingegen ist er eher eine Art Prediger， der seiner Gemeinde vom Glauben überzeugen möchte。 „Stranger than Kindness“ ist Lebenswerk， Biografie， Geschichte und eine Reise durch die kreative Welt von Nick Caves künstlerischer Gedankenwelt。 Es enthält Reproduktionen von Originalkunstwerken， handgeschriebene Texte， Fotos， gesammelte persönliche Artefakten und Bilder von selbst gemachten Notizbüchern。Wie es für Cave so typisch ist， sind die Gegenstände und Fotos voll von mystischen und religiösen Anspielungen， Symbolen， Bibelzitaten und Jesus。 Das Buch veranschaulicht auf sehr künstlerische Art und Weise die Verwandlung von der Person Nicholas Edward Cave hin zu dem berühmten Künstler Nick Cave。Cave ist in meinen Augen ein großartiger Künstler， aber auch ein bisschen verschroben und sehr eigen， deshalb ist dieses Buch auch so speziell und wird garantiert nicht jedem gefallen。 Doch jeder， der sich mit dem Kosmos von Cave befassen will， kommt an diesem Buch nicht vorbei。Eine klare Leseempfehlung！Note:1 。。。more

Collection of items that Cave created from years ago。 And an essay by Darcey Steinke。 Not sure how much input Cave had but well worth a look。

Boeiend om te zien waaruit songs ontstaan。 Er zit weinig samenhang in het boek， maar het moet eerder als een soort tentoonstelling gelezen worden。

A nicely printed book with pictures from Nick Cave's notebooks， Bad Seeds paraphernalia， some little bit of original interview in the footnotes etc。Interesting to see that Nick seems to big on revising lyrics （O'Malley's Bar at 15 minutes had a lot of stuff that didn't make the cut）Also crazy to see his blood sprayed across pages from his heroin-injecting-needles in the 80sGlad that he cleaned up and evolved into the 21st century prestige-artist version of himselfThis is the closest there is to A nicely printed book with pictures from Nick Cave's notebooks， Bad Seeds paraphernalia， some little bit of original interview in the footnotes etc。Interesting to see that Nick seems to big on revising lyrics （O'Malley's Bar at 15 minutes had a lot of stuff that didn't make the cut）Also crazy to see his blood sprayed across pages from his heroin-injecting-needles in the 80sGlad that he cleaned up and evolved into the 21st century prestige-artist version of himselfThis is the closest there is to an official Nick Cave book （excepting novels， Sick Bag Song， books of lyrics） so good to have if you're a fan。 。。。more

Nick Cave’s life appears to be focused on using the darkness of his life to find grace。 This makes for beautiful songs and a beautiful book。

Lisa ，

Che magnifica avventura nella mente di un Autore così complesso e totalizzante。 Per me Nick Cave occupa uno spazio molto speciale nel mio spirito: questa opera monumentale mi ricorda quanto sono fortunata ad averlo scoperto。

Gary Fowles ，

Packed with images from Cave’s personal collection， this coffee table book is a nice addition to the already groaning music bookshelf。 A wee bit low on the word count if you really want to have something to moan about。 Worth buying for the photograph of a young Cave at a Saints gig looking like he’s discovered what he’s going to with the rest of his life。

CRITIQUE:Nick Cave InfusionThe advance publicity for this book described it as an autobiography of Nick Cave。 While it contains over twice as many images as the earlier book/catalogue， “Nick Cave Stories"， Nick seems to have written only five pages of large print， a one-page lyric/poem about his wife， Susie， and a one-page reminiscence of when they first met。 However， it's easy to forget that Nick made or wrote （or spoke） almost everything else in the book， especially the hand-written drafts CRITIQUE:Nick Cave InfusionThe advance publicity for this book described it as an autobiography of Nick Cave。 While it contains over twice as many images as the earlier book/catalogue， “Nick Cave Stories"， Nick seems to have written only five pages of large print， a one-page lyric/poem about his wife， Susie， and a one-page reminiscence of when they first met。 However， it's easy to forget that Nick made or wrote （or spoke） almost everything else in the book， especially the hand-written drafts of song lyrics and the artwork with which he surrounded them。 Thus， his persona infuses almost the entire work （if not all of the excellent essay by author， Darcey Steinke， which explores resemblances to William Faulkner， William Blake， Wim Wenders， Johnny Cash， Elvis Presley and holy roller preachers）。 Paradoxically， the title of the book is the name of a Bad Seeds song written by Anita Lane and Blixa Bargeld， not Nick himself。Manic Tangential InformationI was already familiar with many of the images from the original book， but what impressed me most and fleshed out the biographical content of the book were the notes in the section called “Contextualisation"。 Although （like the images） they're not in precise chronological order， they do constitute a helpful narrative of Nick's life and career as a musician。 They don't purport to be comprehensive。 Since the original book was published， the only more recent images seem to date from 2007-2008， 2011-2014 and 2019， the dates he was working on his second novel and his last four albums。Nick Cave typing in "20，000 Days on Earth"Frantic Empathy and the Locus of the DivineFor all this， the sections that Nick wrote are both informative and inspiring in an aphoristic and philosophical （not to mention， spiritual） fashion: "What you see in this book lives in the intricate world constructed around the songs， and which the songs inhabit。 It is the material that gives birth to and nourishes the official work。。。They are a support system of manic tangential information。。。"I don't see these things as 'art' works at all。 They feel to me like fetish objects， or religious artefacts， the terrible residue of an over-stimulated mind。。。“You are born。 You build yourself piece by piece。 You construct a narrative。 You become an individual， surrounding yourself with all that you love。 You are wounded too， sometimes， and left scarred。 Yet you become a heroic and unique embodiment of both the things you cherish and the things that cause you pain。。。“You were never the thing that you thought you were。 You are an illusion， as [an] event shatters you into a multitude of pieces。。。“The pieces of you spin apart， a million little histories， propelling themselves away at a tremendous rate。 They become like the hurtling stars， points of retreating light， separated only by your roaring need and the distant sky itself。。。“You scramble for the pieces of your shattered history。 There is a frantic gathering up。 You seize the unknowable fragments and begin to put yourself back together again。。。“You stand anew， remade。 You have rebuilt yourself。 But you are different。 You have become a we， and we are each other: a vast community of astonishing potential that holds the sky aloft with our suffering， that keeps the stars in place with our limitless joy， that situates the moon within the reaches of our gratitude， and positions us in the locus of the divine。 Together， we are reborn。” Nick Cave reveals himself， now and then， to be both a saviour and a very naughty boy。VERSE:Woke Up This MorningI woke up this morningWith a sore head，A full bladderAnd an empty bed。Stranger to Kindness [Haiku]Tell me I'm dirty，I'm a stranger to kindness。You made me this way。Burning Love [Haiku]His love was burningLike some bright erotic star，Deep inside my skin。Owed to Deanna [Haiku]You're such an angel。 We commit another crime，You're a mystery。Musical DifferencesI used to have some bandmates，Who played away behind me，But when we got into smack，They done turned their backs on me。SOUNDTRACK:（view spoiler）[B。 B。 King -

Nick Cave changed my life when I first discovered him， sometime back in the mid-90s， by which point he'd already built a career spanning decades and the musical landscape I perceived at the time was growing ever more bleaker by the second。 Personally， I'm still with him where he said， “I’m forever near a stereo saying， ‘What the fuck is this garbage？’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers。” Still， the younger， saltier Cave of that era now seems a far cry removed from the older， more Nick Cave changed my life when I first discovered him， sometime back in the mid-90s， by which point he'd already built a career spanning decades and the musical landscape I perceived at the time was growing ever more bleaker by the second。 Personally， I'm still with him where he said， “I’m forever near a stereo saying， ‘What the fuck is this garbage？’ And the answer is always the Red Hot Chili Peppers。” Still， the younger， saltier Cave of that era now seems a far cry removed from the older， more mellowed version of today， and the two of them finally chance to meet within the pages and on the cover of this gorgeously intimate book。Cataloguing a lifetime's worth of writing， artwork， and various other artifacts from Cave's childhood through this present day， Stranger Than Kindness represents a selection of pieces from the exhibit of the same name， which finally opened last month at the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen。 For those unable to attend， I would highly recommend this book for the insights it provides into the life and works of its subject。 。。。more
