And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave

4.0

It's been a couple of years since I read this one but what I remember so much about it was it's rich storytelling and the way Nick Cave walks the line between experimental fiction with a first person character you can't trust perspective wise and the biblical nature of it. If it seems disjointed and confusing, it's only because it's density requires you to spend a great deal more time with it. I think Nick Cave has proved himself to be a tremendous lyricist and musician but I do also believe if he had devoted more of his time to the novel, he could become as accomplished as say Nabokov crossed with Thomas Pynchon...if that makes any sense?!?!
