Kurt Cobain, Beyond Nirvana : The Legacy of Kurt Cobain

The death of Kurt Cobain, in April of 1994, provoked more public outcry than any suicide in recent times. Senior reporters like Andy Rooney missed the meaning of the rock star's death, while thousands of young people plunged into a deep depression. Ironically, Hank Harrison, the estranged father of Courtney Love, Cobain's eccentric widow, & a celebrated author of five books - including a classic study of The Grateful Dead, was in the midst of a book about Cobain when the suicide occurred. KURT COBAIN: BEYOND NIRVANA is not a sensationalistic work. Harrison began his research when his grandaughter, Frances, was born in 1992. Harrison avoids becoming an apologist for the Baby Boomers by writing clearly & with passion even finding room for humor along the way. "KURT COBAIN: BEYOND NIRVANA, is a frank study of a broken family in crisis. Harrison's unique perspective is refreshing. Never before has a biographical book of this caliber been written by a rock star's father-in-law."--Emil Rodriguez, Chicago Tribune. "Hank Harrison explores the revolutionary aspects of the grunge generation & writes from the heart. There will be many sensationalistic books on Kurt & Courtney, but KURT COBAIN: BEYOND NIRVANA will remain a classic of social history."--Debbie Earl, American Library Journal. "Very sensitive & surprisingly insightful."--Matti Lansoo, Vancouver Sun.
