THE TIMES TOP 10 BESTSELLER A GUARDIAN, TELEGRAPH, THE TIMES, IRISH TIMES, ROUGH TRADE, MOJO, CLASH, ROLLING STONE, UNCUT BOOK OF THE YEAR From award-winning musician and composer Warren Ellis comes the unexpected and inspiring story of a piece of chewing gum. FEATURING AN INTRODUCTION BY NICK CAVE ''Warren has turned this memento, snatched from his idol''s piano in a moment of rapture, into a genuine religious artefact.'' NICK CAVE ''Such a mad, happy book about art and music and obsession. I''m so glad I got to read it. It made the world feel lighter.'' NEIL GAIMAN ''In praise of meaning-rich relics and magical things. Totally heartwarming project.'' MAX PORTER ''A unique study of a fan''s devotion, of transcendence and of the artistic vocation - it''s got depth and great warmth. It''s a beautiful piece of work.'' KEVIN BARRY I hadn''t opened the towel that contained her gum since 2013. The last person to touch it was Nina Simone, her saliva and fingerprints unsullied. The idea that it was still in her towel was something I had drawn strength from. I thought each time I opened it some of Nina Simone''s spirit would vanish. In many ways that thought was more important than the gum itself. On Thursday 1 July, 1999, Dr Nina Simone gave a rare performance as part of Nick Cave''s Meltdown Festival. After the show, in a state of awe, Warren Ellis crept onto the stage, took Dr Simone''s piece of chewed gum from the piano, wrapped it in her stage towel and put it in a Tower Records bag. The gum remained with him for twenty years; a sacred totem, his creative muse, a conduit that would eventually take Ellis back to his childhood and his relationship with found objects, growing in significance with every passing year. Nina Simone''s Gum is about how something so small can form beautiful connections between people. It is a story about the meaning we place on things, on experiences, and how they become imbued with spirituality. It is a celebration of artistic process, friendship, understanding and love. ''This is such a beautiful f*@king book. Thank you, Warren. I highly recommend this motherf*@ker.'' FLEA ''A beautifully written book about the power of music and objects. I powered through it in two days.'' COURTNEY BARNETT ''A moving, inspiration insight into a beautiful mind.'' JIM JARMUSCH ''The year''s most eccentric and joyful musical memoir.'' DAILY TELEGRAPH (Books of the year) ''[Nina Simone''s Gum] is a metaphor for [Ellis''] creativity - the blossoming of a small idea into something bigger and bolder - but also a journey inside the impulsive, improvisatory mind of Warren Ellis, his passions, obsessions and superstitions.'' OBSERVER ''[A] beautiful, strikingly idiosyncratic book - part memoir, part essay, part conceptual art project, all testament to humans at their strangest and best . . . [Ellis] sees signifiance where others might not.'' MOJO ''A glorious piece of object fetishism . . . Marvel as Ellis'' collection of eccentric personal mementos morphs into a celebration of the intangible wonder of music.'' UNCUT ''Wonderful.'' THE TIMES ''The most peculiar book I''ve ever read.'' CRAIG BROWN, MAIL ON SUNDAY ''Delightful . . . A joy from start to finish.'' BIG ISSUE ''A joyous work full of love, connection, creativity and gratitude.'' THE SPECTATOR ''Completely charming and joyful . . . glorious.'' LA REVIEW OF BOOKS ''Beautiful . . . remarkable.'' NEW EUROPEAN

"Some people call it "abyss gaze." Gaze into the abyss all day and the abyss will gaze into you. There are two types of people who think professionally about the future: Foresight strategists are civil futurists who think about geoengineering and smart cities and ways to evade Our Coming Doom; strategic forecasters are spook futurists, who think about geopolitical upheaval and drone warfare and ways to prepare clients for Our Coming Doom. The former are paid by nonprofits and charities, the latter by global security groups and corporate think tanks. For both types, if you''re good at it, and you spend your days and nights doing it, then it''s something you can''t do for long. Depression sets in. Mental illness festers. And if the abyss gaze takes hold there''s only one place to recover: Normal Head, in the wilds of Oregon, within the secure perimeter of an experimental forest..."--
