Please note: This is an online event.

Join us online to hear author Mark Mordue discuss the first volume of his long-awaited, near-mythical biography of Nick Cave with journalist and author Jackson Marx.

Boy on Fire is a beautiful, profound, profane and poetic biography of the early formative years of the dark prince of Australian rock ‘n’ roll. It tells the story of the artist first as a boy, then as a young man. A deeply insightful work which charts his family, friends, influences, milieu and, most of all, his music, Boy on Fire reveals how Nick Cave shaped himself into the extraordinary artist he would become.
