The Death Of Bunny Munro by Nick Cave
I recently finished Nick Cave's second novel, 'The Death Of Bunny Munro' and am still milling over how I feel about it. However, I think the only reason I'm still milling over how I feel about it is to try and find some way to rationalize liking it more than I did, which I just can't seem to do. It's not that the book is bad per say (it's certainly not horrible), it's just not as good as the promise it shows. As a fan of Cave, how could I not want to read a pervy romp that seems to suggest the grimy literary equivalent of the aural aging sleaze of Grinderman? Pretty simple actually, fill it with pop culture references and slack off on any sense of prose or form to carry the narrative.
