Notes: Having just finished reading a book about one tragic musician who died too young, Hank Williams, I turn to this book about the famed Nirvana frontman from my own generation. This book was an accompaniment to an HBO documentary that came out a few years ago.
Mini review: Nearly all this book is a collection of interviews with some of Kurt Cobain's friends and family. Much of it was nothing new to me, but it did point out how complex and tortured an individual Cobain was. The last few pages were the saddest with people recalling Cobain's suicide and the aftermath. There's not a lot of breadth here, so it will definitely help to know more than just the basics of Cobain's life, but there are some depths plumbed. Fans of Cobain will want to check this one out.
