Singer Nick Cave has a new novel out: The Death of Bunny Munro, a light, cheery, life-affirming tale of the last days of a the eponymous traveling salesman. Just kidding — it’s dark. It’s also available as an audio book and an iPhone application.
But the best part is, guess what he used to write the first chapter?
Yeah, an iPhone! No shit, Cave wrote the first chapter on an iPhone, according to his publishing company.
The chapter is nine pages long. At the publishing industry standard of 250 words a page, that’s 2,250 words painfully tapped out with his index fingers! Let’s hope the book isn’t full of the iPhone’s notorious word substitutions.
Cave will be appearing on September 14th at Barnes and Noble Union Square in New York.
The Death of Bunny Munro application.
