Set adrift by his wife's suicide and struggling to keep a grip
on reality, Bunny Munro does the only thing he can think of: with
his young son in tow, he hits the road. To his son, waiting
patiently in the car while his father peddles beauty wares and
quickies to lonely housewives in the south of England, Bunny is a
hero, larger than life. But Bunny himself, haunted by what might be
his wife's ghost, seems only dimly aware of his son's
existence.
When his bizarre trip shades into a final reckoning, when he can no
longer be sure what is real and what is not, Bunny finally begins
to recognize the love he feels for his son. And he sees that the
revenants of his world--decrepit fathers, vengeful ghosts, jealous
husbands, and horned psycho-killers--are lurking in the shadows,
waiting to exact their toll.
At turns dark and humane, "The Death of Bunny Munro "is a tender
portrait of the relationship between a boy and his father, with all
the wit and enigma that fans will recognize as Nick Cave's singular
vision.
