Book Review: A modern cryptogram
Summary: 4 Stars
If there was any doubt of Cobain: the enigma, let it be cast out upon exploring "Journals." What you hold in your hands is the blueprint for his life both in and out of music--business decisions, to-do lists, multiple drafts of lyrics, Nirvana t-shirt designs, music video treatments and amusing personal anecdotes or other quips. A large amount of the material is illegibly indecipherable, and even more indiscernibly odd. Such was the crux of Cobain's art and existence, and the reason that Nirvana remains my favorite band.
Without opening, I clutched Journals for about ten minutes the day it was released, contemplating the ethics of reading anybody's (world-famous rock musician or otherwise) personal diaries. After all, would I ever read my college roommate's journal? Of course not. Honestly, I still can't justify the browsing or even the publication of this collection. My only hope is that time will both extend the celebration of this man's genius and allow us to move beyond the shock of his death (even more than a decade after the fact).
After all, if we were to unearth Aristotle's lost musings on comedy to compare with those of tragedy in "Poetics," would we hesitate for a second to indulge ourselves? I don't even think Kurt would.
