           "he book brings together an international range of scholars and practitioners, 
           each of whom is uniquely placed to comment on an aspect of Cave's career.
           The essays collected here not only generate new ways of seeing and understanding 
           Cave's contributions to contemporary culture, but also set up a dialogue between 
           fields all-too-often separated in the academy and in the media. Topics include Cave 
           and the Presley myth; the aberrant masculinity projected by The Birthday Party; 
           the post colonial Australian-ness of his humor; his interventions in film and his 
           erotics of the sacred. These essays offer compelling insights and provocative arguments 
           about the fluidity of contemporary artistic practice. "
