7 11 y separately published work icon And the Ass Saw the Angel Nick Cave , ( trans. Francesca Pe' with title E L'asina Vide L'angelo ) Rome : Big Sur , 2020 Z409188 1989 single work novel

Cave’s debut novel takes on the southern gothic in this bizarre baroque tale. Born mute to a drunken mother and a demented father, tortured Euchrid Eucrow finds more compassion in the family mule than in his fellow men. But he alone will grasp the cruel fate of Cosey Mo, the beautiful young prostitute in the pink caravan on Hooper’s Hill. And it is Euchrid, spiraling ever deeper into his mad angelic vision, who will ultimately redeem both the town and its people.
