Nick Wild God – The Rise, Tragedy, and Rebirth of a Rock IconBy Olivia Fen
In Nick Wild God – The Rise, Tragedy, and Rebirth of a Rock Icon, Olivia Fen delivers a vivid, emotionally charged portrait of one of modern music’s most enigmatic and enduring figures.

Through years of reinvention, heartbreak, loss, and rebirth, Nick Cave’s story unfolds as more than a chronicle of a rock career. It becomes a profound exploration of creativity, faith, and survival. Fen captures the evolution of his music and mind — from the raw energy of The Birthday Party to the haunting grace of The Bad Seeds and the introspective intimacy of his later works.

This is a book for fans, dreamers, and seekers — for anyone who has ever wondered how pain can become poetry and how an artist can rise again after falling apart.
Nick Wild God is more than a biography; it is a meditation on the power of art to heal, transform, and outlast the storms of life.
