Check out Smoke and Mirrors - it's a collection of his short stories. Most of them are absolutely brilliant (especially Angel City and We Can Get Them For You Wholesale).

He's got another collection out called Fragile Things, but I haven't gottenm around to that one yet.

Thumbs up

I'm kinda reading 3 books at once :S. A book for children, Fiona Macdonald's Monsters. The aforementioned Manga Bible and Louise Hay's You Can Heal Your Life, which had been VERY helpful :D .

That's the one that got me interested in his stuff in the first place...great book, but I was far more impressed with his short stories.

My girlfriend gave me Fragile Things for Christmas, so I'm going to dig in to that one pretty soon.

Some interesting facts, but it remains another "Cobain was a suicidal freak" story.
