This novel tells the story of Euchrid Eucrow, the product of several generations of inbreeding and raw liquor consumption. Physically malformed and born dumb, he possesses an unusual sensitivity which he hides underneath engaging bravado.

"And the Ass Saw the Angel" was the first novel by the Australian musician and singer Nick Cave, originally published in 1989 by Black Spring Press. The title is a biblical quotation from the Book of Numbers, Chapter 22, Verses 23-31: "And the ass saw the angel of the Lord standing in the way, ...".

With its Southern Gothic setting, critics have compared it favourably with novels by American authors William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.

This edition was published in 1990. There is very slight creasing of the front and back covers but otherwise this book is in fantastic condition, a real collectable.
