Into Your Arms
Into Your Arms: Nick Cave's Songs Reimagined | Kirsten Krauth
2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
From an automaton of Nick Cave, to a man who can't keep his blood out of the food he is preparing; from a vengeful Uber driver to a spinner of souls; and from a boy caught up in a robbery to a girl desperate to save a failing greyhound, the characters who populate this short story anthology could have dropped straight from a Nick Cave song book. These 21 stories, from some of Australia's favourite creators, respond to Cave's visionary genius with their own original and unsettling tales of death, faith, violence and love.

This was a Christmas present from my husband, who also bought me the Paul Kelly version which I‘ve yet to read. I like the concept, a book of short stories, each loosely inspired by a Cave song. As always with short stories, some were better than others. I found a new author to look into for my husband & I liked that there‘s a Spotify playlist I could listen to as I read.
Aside: my husband and I walked down the aisle to a Cave song ❤️.

Mimi28 I have a book about Prince and the meaning behind every song. It‘s on my kindle app and I need a tablet ( or I could use my phone) but I guess I‘ll try more because your review of your favorite artist inspired me to learn more about mine 💜💜💜💟💟💟 11mo

I am reading this book of short stories inspired by Nick Cave‘s songs. I knew he was invited to attended the coronation of King Charles, but I didn‘t know it was because Albo (Australia‘s Prime Minister) had chosen him! #currentlyreading #ozfiction
