About this ebook

The Sick Bag Song chronicles Cave’s 22-city journey around North America in 2014. Racked by romantic longing and exhaustion, Cave teases out the significant moments – the people, the books and the music – that have influenced and inspired him, and drops them into his sick bag.

The book began its life scribbled onto airline sick bags and later evolves into a restless contemporary epic, exploring love, loss, inspiration and memory.

Conclusively inspiring with a poetic ebb, that stimulates and resurrects your own creative enterprise and leaves you feeling reanimated. The Sick Bag Song takes you on tour with the author as Nick offers you an introspective view of the Cave.
