Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This New York Times bestseller offers a definitive portrait of Kurt Cobain, reflecting on his lasting impact on culture twenty-five years after his death. Acclaimed author Charles R. Cross combines his deep understanding of the Seattle music scene with compassion for Cobain in this extraordinary narrative of artistic brilliance and the accompanying pain. Drawing from over four hundred interviews, four years of research, and exclusive access to Cobain's unpublished diaries, lyrics, and family photos, the book chronicles Cobain's life from his early days in a double-wide trailer near Aberdeen, Washington, to his meteoric rise to fame and the adulation of a generation. In this edition, Cross has penned a new preface that contextualizes the time of the book's original writing, six years post-Cobain's death, highlighting the immediacy of the cultural experience during the interviews. Additionally, a new final chapter updates readers on developments regarding investigations into Cobain's death, Nirvana's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the band's enduring legacy in rock history, illustrating how their significance has only grown over the decades.
