The definitive biography of the revolutionary band Nirvana and its star-crossed frontman Kurt Cobain, hailed by Rolling Stone as "the first book] to comprehensively tell the band's tale from Aberdeen, Wash., to world domination"

"Amazingly raw and candid . . . an unsparing and extremely honest depiction of the group's highly tumultuous history . . . Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get."--Billboard

"Just tell the truth. That'll be better than anything else that's been written about me."--Kurt Cobain

Nirvana came out of nowhere in 1991 to sell nearly five million copies of their landmark album Nevermind, whose thunderous sound and indelible melodies embodied all the confusion, frustration, and passion of the emerging Generation X.

Come As You Are is the close-up, intimate story of Nirvana--the only book with exclusive in-depth interviews with bandmembers Kurt Cobain, Krist Noveselic, and Dave Grohl, as well as friends, relatives, former bandmembers, and associates--now updated to include a final chapter detailing the last year of Kurt Cobain's life, before his tragic suicide in April 1994.

Vivid, evocative, and thought-provoking, Come As You Are is an essential document not just for Nirvana fans but for anyone interested in the cultural legacy of the 1990s.

"Amazingly raw and candid... Come As You Are is as good as rock bios get" -- Billboard.
