Holden Caulfield meets Jack Kerouac. This edition has a great collection of fragments from Cobain, mostly letter and lyric drafts. Sometimes the marginalia are the most interesting (ranging from doodles to recipes). But, this edition is not complete, and there's no way of telling all that was left out due to powers that be.
For those interested in Cobain, this is a must read to see how his mind worked from time to time.

Una mirada morbosa a los pensamientos de un artista tormentoso.
This rather pitiful collection of scribbles serves an important purpose, I think. Most of the grungy, skateboarding fanboys who pick this up will suddenly be introduced to a host of profound social issues: feminism, conservation, capitalism, creativity, fame, racism, sexism, gay rights, regionalism, depression, drug addiction, etc etc. It's all dealt with in a voyeuristic, disarming sort of way. For all his faults, KC was definitely one of the good guys, and he cared. A lot. This book nudges his sphere of influence in all the right directions...the constant raves about incredible and obscure musicians and bands doesn't hurt, either.

When reading this book I was faced with the moral dilemma of whether or not Kurt would be ok with fans reading this. While it is the utmost intimate look into his psyche and songwriting it is also supposed to be his personal journals. One of the last entries he talks about someone stealing his things and how it is a “rape” of his personal thoughts.
