U.S.A.: Hyperion, 2001. 1st Edition Unrevised and Unpublished proofs. Soft cover. Fine/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Although the tragic circumstances of Kurt Cobain's suicide are well known, the facts of his life and the influence of his artistry remain largely unexamined.

Based on more that 400 interviews, four years of research, exclusive access to Corbain's life from his early days in a double wide trailer outside of Aberdeen Washington, to his rise to fame, success and the adulation of a generation. This fine advance uncorrected proof copy is a must for music lovers in general and Kurt Cobain and Nirvana in particular.
