    About this audiobook

    Bunny Munro sells beauty products and the dream of hope to lonely housewives along the south coast of England. Set adrift by his wife's sudden death and struggling to keep a grip on reality, he does the only thing he can think of—with his young son in tow, he hits the road.

    While Bunny plies his trade and sexual charisma door-to-door, nine-year-old Bunny Junior sits patiently in the car, exploring the world through the pages of his encyclopaedia. As their bizarre and increasingly frenzied road trip shears into a final reckoning, Bunny finds that the ghosts of his world—decrepit fathers, vengeful lovers, jealous husbands, and horned psycho-killers— have emerged from the shadows and are seeking to exact their toll.

    A tender portrait of the relationship between father and son, The Death of Bunny Munro is a stylish, angry and hugely enjoyable listen, bursting with the wit and mystery that fans will recognise as hallmarks of Cave's singular vision.

      Lapvona By Ottessa Moshfegh Review – A Carnival Of The Grotesque

      Jun 14, 2022

      There’s something encouraging, and perhaps telling, about Ottessa Moshfegh’s success. Her abject, pervy, excremental fictions carry a whiff of deviance and nihilism into a squeaky clean mainstream that comforts some while alienating others. Although

      This book is like picking at a scab - you sort of want to stop but it is oddly satisfying. I read this book years ago and will never read it again, mostly because I can still very vividly remember it.

      A middle-aged serial cheater's wife commits suicide and he has to take care of their young son. Bunny works in door-to-door sales so it's a road trip, but less like 'Little Miss Sunshine' and more like 'Fear and Loathing'.

      You'll want to hate this book because of Bunny and everything he represents, and you probably will, but Bunny really isn't the point.

      If you've ever seen a Michael Haneke film or stared for too long at a Francis Bacon painting, this book will have a familiar vibe. If not, this will be extra weird for you.
