2025 will see the debut of “The Death of Bunny Munro”, a TV series produced by Sky and based on the novel of the same name by the histrionic 67-year-old Australian Nick Cave (who most people know as the frontman of “Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds” or for his solo productions)
The protagonist of the novel (and therefore also of the future series) is Bunny Munro, a door-to-door salesman of beauty products, libertine and sex addict. After the death by suicide of his wife Libby, he finds himself having to look after his only son of 9 years. The two, thanks to a journey with bizarre, frenetic and Freudian overtones along southern England, will manage to cement the father/son relationship and come to terms, not without difficulty, with their "cognition of pain".
Nick Cave has often dabbled in poetic and literary productions: in 1988 he published “King Ink”, a collection of poems and prose texts. The following year he published “And the Donkey Saw the Angel”, his first novel. “The Death of Bunny Munro” is dated 2009.
