Nick Cave Announces Book Signings In Toronto And Ottawa

Nick Cave will sign copies of The Death Of Bunny Munro, his second novel, in Toronto and Ottawa next month.

Cave will be at Indigo Books in Toronto's Eaton Centre on Sept. 16 at 7 p.m. to discuss The Death Of Bunny Munro with Explore Music and 102.1 The Edge's Alan Cross. A signing and question and answer session will follow afterwards. Cave will show up at Ottawa's Saint Brigid's Centre For The Arts And Humanities to discuss the book a day later.

The Death Of Bunny Munro is Cave's first novel since 1989's And The Ass Saw The Angel. The new novel is reportedly about a man who heads to England after his wife commits suicide and, yes, meets his own death. The book will be released Sept. 4 through HarperCollins.

Cave released his first book, King Ink, a collection of his lyrics and plays, in 1988. It was followed by And The Ass Saw The Angel, and King Ink's second installment was released in 1997. Cave and his former Bad Seeds bandmate Warren Ellis also wrote the scores for an Icelandic production of Georg Buchner's 1879 play, Woyzeck, and a stage version of Franz Kafka's existentialist classic, The Metamorphosis.

Oh, and don't bother bringing that coveted Birthday Party Prayers On Fire album for Cave to autograph. He'll only be signing copies of his new book.
