Product Information

Police were called to Skerne Road in Kington at around half past midnight today (Wednesday, October 11). Allen & Unwin Australia’s leading independent publisher of smart fiction and non-fiction, published in the UK through Atlantic Books.

For fans it's thrilling to read of moments and images from Cave's early days that will surface in his songs years, even decades, later. A very particular stretch of the Ovens River flows from Wangaratta into multiple lyrics, most notably Sad Waters. The hopeful wisdom of Colin Cave underpins Nature Boy. This study started out as a full biography of Cave, but Mordue confesses to losing his way in its composition and so creates this narrative taking us up to Cave’s departure with the band to London. It was listening to Years & Years’ new song “Sanctify,” and seeing the band’s out gay singer Olly Alexander talk about how the song was inspired his sexual trysts with straight men, that I realized that these feelings are way more common than people let on. Sure, I know all about gay guys having sex with straight guys, but it felt reassuring to see him describe the “saint and sinner role” he embodied during those experiences, and to hear the uncertainty and melancholy weaved into the song. A man in his 40s was taken to hospital after suffering burns and his condition has been described by police as “life-threatening”.

Names with fire meanings can also be astrology names, especially suited to for babies born under the zodiac fire signs of Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius. A fire name might be appropriate for a red-haired baby, or one with a fiery temperament. Mark Mordue is an Australian writer, journalist and editor. He is a co-winner of the 2014 Peter Blazey Fellowship, which recognises an outstanding manuscript in the fields of biography, autobiography or life writing, and also the author of Dastgah: Diary of a Headtrip. He lives in Sydney. It was a great journey the writer takes us on, with a high amount of detail on early influences, happenings, debauchery, losses and love. The relevant musical, artistic and literary context’s discussed are quite insightful. I hadn’t known a lot about him oddly or much about the Melbourne scene before reading this book but different things I had been told over the years all fit together now. The Boys Next Door should have a statue in St Kilda made of them! Some great quotes, a lot more humour and jest than anticipated, which I liked. It made me reflect on my art school days, where people were full of revolt and passion to express themselves. I lost my momentum.. but I loved that creative freedom.

With twice as many characters to control, this means that twice as many people can play at once, so there is no more fighting over taking turns amongst two friends. How often have you been tired of taking turns playing Run 3 against your friend? Boy On Fire is a beautiful book, evocative and sensual, yet with an even-handed and at times critical treatment of its subject' Sydney Review of Books I hope that Mordue continues with further studies such as this -sensitively drawing on interviews with those who are close to and influenced Cave. Mordue has aimed for Boy On Fire to show Cave at the centre of 'a kaleidoscope of people and stories'. He's particularly strong on the subculture that congregated in the Crystal Ballroom (a legendary venue in St Kilda, then Melbourne's bohemian-attracting red light district) to watch post-punk bands in the late 70s.

In the preface Mordue indicates that this was originally intended to form part of a ‘mega-biography’ of NC, however the sheer quantity and depth of the entire body of Cave’s work ‘overwhelmed’ him. How fortunate we are that Mordue chose to salvage and publish the story of this part of Cave’s life which charts his development as a performer and creative artist and the wild and, lets-be-honest, low-level criminal excesses of his early adult life. Fire names might literally mean fire or fiery or blaze or sun . They might also be the names of gods or goddesses of fire or the sun or have other fire-related associations, like Ember and Phoenix.
