Heavier Than Heaven

Delve into the private life of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain with Heavier Than Heaven. Through 400+ interviews, quotes from Cobain's diaries and suicide notes, and previously unreleased material, author Charles Cross reveals many secrets about the artist's personality and creative process. The book uncovers how his family and love life affected his music and the true meaning behind "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Despite growing up as a sweet, athletic teen, Cobain's essence was contradictions barely contained - a millionaire who slept in cars, a ruthless man who remained fiercely loyal, and a talented yet astoundingly morbid visual artist. This definitive biography puts numerous Cobain-generated myths to rest and is the deepest book about pop's darkest falling star.
