Summary
Musician， novelist， poet， actor: Nick Cave （b。 1957） is a Renaissance man。 His wide-ranging artistic output—always uncompromising， hypnotic， and intense—is defined by an extraordinary gift for storytelling。 In Nick Cave: Mercy on Me， Reinhard Kleist employs a cast of characters drawn from Cave’s music and writing to tell the story of a formidable artist and influencer。 Kleist paints an expressive and enthralling portrait of Cave’s childhood in Australia; his early years fronting The Birthday Party; the sublime highs of his success with The Bad Seeds; and the crippling lows of his battle with heroin。 Capturing everything from Cave’s frenzied performances in Berlin to the tender moments he spent with love and muse Anita Lane， Kleist’s graphic biography， like Cave’s songs， is by turns electrifying， sentimental， morbid， and comic—but always engrossing。

priča o muzičaru Nik Kejvu。 Ispričana haotično i isto tako nacrtano。 Meni se ni jedno ni drugo nije svidelo pogotovo što to treba trpeti na preko 300 stranica。 Ne znam da li bi to izdržali i ljudi koji ga poznaju。 U svakom slučaju I jedna zvezdica je previše ali neka bude pošto je to minimalna ocena。 Preskočite ovo delo vas mozak i slobodno vreme će vam biti zahvalni。

No es un libro que sirva como introducción a Cave， pero para los ya iniciados es una joyita con mil guiños， tanto en ilustración como texto， a las canciones y el mundo del líder de los Bad Seeds。

4。5Nick Cave’s life told via the characters he created along the way？ Amazing art style and general composition？ Faces you recognize？ Yes， yes and yes。 This graphic novel is pretty fuckin’ awesome and I would recommend it to all fans of Cave and music nerds in general。

The dramatized story of Nick Cave's life becomes increasingly surreal and absurd in a creatively challenging way。 Nice art style that represents the music of Nick Cave in a respectful way。 The dramatized story of Nick Cave's life becomes increasingly surreal and absurd in a creatively challenging way。 Nice art style that represents the music of Nick Cave in a respectful way。 。。。more

The life of Cave is presented chronologically， seperated into era's。 A nice juxtaposition of Bad-Seeds-Darkness art and Cavesque wordbeauty， elevated with an extra layer of lyrical surrealism。 The latter should blur the line between story and lyrics。 The results are of a varying success: each era has a differrent lyrical theme。All in all: a very cool experiment， which even casual Cave-listeners could enjoy， and an original way to discover the man and his art。 The life of Cave is presented chronologically， seperated into era's。 A nice juxtaposition of Bad-Seeds-Darkness art and Cavesque wordbeauty， elevated with an extra layer of lyrical surrealism。 The latter should blur the line between story and lyrics。 The results are of a varying success: each era has a differrent lyrical theme。All in all: a very cool experiment， which even casual Cave-listeners could enjoy， and an original way to discover the man and his art。 。。。more

Jag fann den ganska rörig， och har man inte koll på vem Nick Cave är och kan biografin redan， lär det vara rätt omöjligt。 Om man inte släpper tanken helt kanske？ Men jag är nånstans mittemellan， kan hyfsat bra hans musik och backstory - och tycker ändå att den är rörig。 Inte direkt överväldigad av the artwork heller。 Nå， grafiska romaner är nog inte heller riktigt min grej。

This was a very good and very scary graphic novel based on Nick Cave’s life。 It’s his bio and he’s haunted by various characters from his songs and it’s v spoopy。 Great illustrations。 Def recommend。

Reinhard Kleist has done a great job collecting all the songs and mythology from Nick Cave’s expansive career and turned it into a readable graphic novel。 I’m a Nick Cave fan and enjoyed the weaving of his biography into the stories that flow through his music。 Kleist spends a lot of time exploring Cave’s early career with bands The Boys Next Door and the Birthday Party which is certainly an interesting period。 However I felt much of the story of the formation of the Bad Seeds was left out or ru Reinhard Kleist has done a great job collecting all the songs and mythology from Nick Cave’s expansive career and turned it into a readable graphic novel。 I’m a Nick Cave fan and enjoyed the weaving of his biography into the stories that flow through his music。 Kleist spends a lot of time exploring Cave’s early career with bands The Boys Next Door and the Birthday Party which is certainly an interesting period。 However I felt much of the story of the formation of the Bad Seeds was left out or rushed through， some of the narrative became difficult to follow and large segments of Cave’s musical career with the Bad Seeds seems very glossed over。 A lot of time is spent on one of Cave’s early relationships but many later ones are not mentioned at all and there’s only vague mention of his wife and family。 So ultimately I guess the book should have been longer to allow for a more thorough telling of the story， as it is the second half feels rushed。 But the artwork is gorgeous and it’s a great read for any Cave fan just for all the fun allusions to his songs and other writings。 。。。more

Valoro la estructura caleidoscópica， el juego metanarrativo y la inclusión de los personajes del imaginario Cave en el relato。 El uso plástico de las viñetas es vibrante y sugestivo。 Las derivas， afortunadas。 Lamento un poco el apego reverencial de Kleist por el cantautor， actitud que lo lleva a jugársela por la caricatura del artista maldito。

I love the idea for this book: An impressionistic biography of the singular Nick Cave， playing fast and loose with reality， intermingling historic fact with tropes from Cave’s own songs。 The framing device involves various Cave characters addressing their creator， demanding answers for the cruel fates he dreamed for them。 （They call upon the author to explain。） This culminates in a compelling meditation on the god complex inherent to creative life， but as a book about Nick Cave， it’s never quite I love the idea for this book: An impressionistic biography of the singular Nick Cave， playing fast and loose with reality， intermingling historic fact with tropes from Cave’s own songs。 The framing device involves various Cave characters addressing their creator， demanding answers for the cruel fates he dreamed for them。 （They call upon the author to explain。） This culminates in a compelling meditation on the god complex inherent to creative life， but as a book about Nick Cave， it’s never quite as deep as I’d hoped; it lingers over creative frustration and substance abuse without saying anything especially meaningful about either。 It’s almost more of a novelty than anything else， but on those terms it’s worthwhile for Cave fans， not least for the brilliant artwork; and， for the chance to finally see Cave as the hero in his own story。 。。。more
