Come as You Are

Michael Azerrad · first published 1993 · ISBN 9780385471992

A detailed biography of Nirvana built from extensive interviews with Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl, and scores of people who shaped the band's trajectory. Azerrad traces their Seattle origins through the release of Nevermind and into Cobain's final year, grounding the grunge phenomenon in real lives and decisions rather than myth.
