W szesnastu bolesnych i szczerych rozmowach przeprowadzonych przez Sena OHagana staje przed nami inny Nick Cave niż ten, którego nagrania, koncerty, wideoklipy, powieści i zapiski uwielbiamy. Ukazuje się nam nie tyle jako artysta, ile jako zwykły człowiek ze swoją kruchością, napadami zwątpienia, rozpaczy, furii i euforii. Gigant, który tak samo jak my musi wydobyć drzazgi z duszy i ciała, tak samo traci wiarę i ją odzyskuje, który każdego dnia przeżywa na nowo walkę i stratę. Zapuszczamy się w krainę końca świata i nadziei-mimo-wszystko. Poznajemy scenografię jedynego w swoim rodzaju pokoju pracy świata wewnętrznego człowieka, który przeszedł niejedną męczarnię. Po zamknięciu książki będziemy mieć wrażenie, że wiemy więcej także o sobie samych.
