Although the tragic circumstances of Kurt Cobains suicide are well known, the facts of his lifeand the influence of his artistryremain largely unexamined. Now veteran music journalist Charles R. Cross fuses his intimate knowledge of the Seattle music scene with his deep compassion for his subject in this extraordinary story of artistic brilliance and the pain that extinguished it. Based on more than 400 interviews; four years of research; exclusive access to Cobains unpublished diaries; and a wealth of documentation, Heavier Than Heaven traces Cobains life from his early days in a double-wide trailer outside of Aberdeen, Washington,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. Cross reveals the familial turmoil that fueled Cobains creativity, the generational history that forged his character, and the unusual love story that shaped his relationship with wife Courtney Love. Drawing from medical and police reports, and Cobains own private writings, Cross also reveals the truth about Cobains health struggles and his tragic final days. More than the history of a rock and roll star, Heavier Than Heaven is a portrait of creative genius and the will to turn pain into art.

前新闻狗,想当编剧/作家。
Charles R.Cross是个很不爱谈论音乐的音乐传记作者。去年读他写的《满是镜子的房间》时就对这一点很有意见,前不久 为了写稿又读了此人写Kurt Cobain的《Heavier Than Heaven》,后者的絮叨程度还要更上一层楼,它令我觉得这个人不仅仅 是不懂、不关心音乐,而且他根本不喜欢Ku...
评分第一次看Cobain的传记是郝舫的《灿烂涅磐》,现在看来那本书加入了太多作者的情结,把Cobain太过神话了。而且作为传记,事实太少,论断太多。 但是这些都是看了这本才有的感慨,郝舫的文字有一种煽动力,我看了总是很激动,愤世嫉俗得不得了。没顾上挑毛病。 在heavier than he...

评分近些年,越来越多的音乐类/音乐人物传记类书籍在内地有了简体中文版译本,真是令人欣慰的好事。但可惜的是,大多数这类书籍的中译本都存在着翻译错误多、校对流于形式的问题,令人特别痛心。当得知入选《Blender》杂志“史上最伟大40本摇滚说书籍”的Kurt Cobain传记《Heavier ...

柯本是个好孩子
评分比起《灿烂涅槃》,更推荐这本bio。灿烂把kurt刻画成了一个全能的光芒万丈的摇滚巨星,而本书,从k儿时埋下的阴影,到青年时所遭遇,到感情失意、滥用药物、胃病、名利场斗争,全方位详细解读透析了这样一个敏感脆弱又对人类充满爱与同情的人。没什么,凡人而已,过目不忘而已,总是看到自己而已。我会铭记你,第八、九、十个年头了。
评分好无聊啊
评分love you.
