The first publication of Kurt Cobain's diaries, which were found after his death in 1994. Genuinely moving, provocative and candid, and suprisingly funny, pieces of writing which, as a whole, provide a unique account of the rise and fall of a greatpopular artist and icon.

Kurt Cobain burst into American consciousness with a vengeance with the release of Nevermind, an instant classic that defined a sound and a generation. Three years later, he was dead of suicide, leaving a meteoric career and a cultural influence that would never wane. As the lead singer and guitarist of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain changed American music as few musicians ever have. His instantly identifiable raspy croon, his slash-and-burn guitar playing, and his corrosive and poetic lyrics made him a hero to a generation of lost souls. In interviews Cobain was funny, thoughtful, sarcastic, impassioned, and even kind. This collection of interviews provides a look at a man who was too often misunderstood.

Eta kniga-bilingva s nastojaschimi faksimile zapisej legendarnogo muzykanta daet vozmozhnost chitat te zhe stroki, kotorye pisal sam lider Nirvana, i rasskazhet o nem luchshe, chem ljubaja biografija. Vy ne raz pojmaete sebja na mysli, chto slyshite v golove golos samogo Kurta. Kurt Kobejn zapolnil desjatki bloknotov komiksami i nabroskami pesen, razmyshlenijami o muzyke i slave, o politike i industrii roka, o lichnom i samom boleznennom. Za vsem etim on raskryvaetsja s novoj intimnoj storony, nedostupnoj prezhde poklonnikam. Ego zapisi propitany sarkazmom i grustju, gnevom i reshimostju, no pri etom - esche i iskrennostju. Stranitsa za stranitsej poznakomtes zanovo s odnim iz samykh vlijatelnykh muzykantov XX veka!

Kurt Cobain filled dozens of notebooks with lyrics, drawings, and writings about his plans for Nirvana and his thoughts about fame, the state of music, and the people who bought and sold him and his music. Over twenty of these notebooks survived his many moves and travels and have been locked in a safe since his death. His journals reveal an artist who loved records, who knew the history of rock, and who was determined to define his place in that history.

"Kazalos, chto on ne umel govorit "bez kommentariev", i otvechal na vse voprosy, chto ja emu zadaval", - vspominaet svoe obschenie s Kurtom Kobejnom avtor etoj knigi. Biografija, napisannaja Majklom Azerradom, stala edinstvennym povestvovaniem o Nirvana, zapisannom i vyshedshem do tragicheskoj smerti ejo lidera. Pervoe izdanie pojavilos na svet v 1993-m godu, ono predstavljalo soboj monumentalnyj trud, sobrannyj iz desjatkov ekskljuzivnykh i podrobnykh intervju s uchastnikami gruppy Kurtom Kobejnom, Kristom Novoselichem i Dejvom Grolom, s ikh druzjami i chlenami semej. "Come as you are" - eto krupnyj plan, intimnaja istorija Nirvana, raskryvajuschaja fenomen vzjavshejsja iz niotkuda gruppy, chi albomy srazu stali raskhoditsja mnogomillionnymi tirazhami. Chej golos olitsetvorjal vsju rasterjannost, razocharovanie i strast novogo pokolenija. Tak bylo v 1990-kh, takim eto ostaetsja i v nashi dni. Eto kniga o buntarjakh, a ne o legendakh, o zhizni, a ne o fatalnosti. Svezhaja istorija, otlichajuschajasja ot vsekh posmertnykh issledovanij ikh tvorchestva.
