Reviews in major newspapers led to appearances on TV and radio, as well as invitations to lecture at the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
Cave has also made contributions to The Red Bulletin (2009), The Traveler's Handbook (2009), and Water: The Essence of Life by Mark Niemeyer (2008), and was invited to write an introduction to James Salter's novel Solo Faces.
He has appeared on other BBC Radio 4 programmes including Dominic Arkwright's Leaving the Comfort Zone and Excess Baggage with Sandi Toksvig.
