Nirvana – The Story of Nirvana – Suzi Black

The Story of Nirvana is an illustrated biography of Nirvana, written by Suzi Black and published by Omnibus Press in 1995.

Through numerous photographs and documents, the book traces the story of Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, from Nirvana's beginnings in the Seattle underground scene to their emergence as a worldwide phenomenon in the early 1990s.

From Seattle to Nevermind

The book looks back at the band's early years, its association with Sub Pop and the emergence of the Seattle music scene that would soon become known worldwide as grunge.

The release of Nevermind in 1991 and the phenomenal success of Smells Like Teen Spirit transformed Nirvana's career. Within months, the trio became one of the defining bands of its generation and Kurt Cobain one of the most closely followed figures in rock music.

The story of Nirvana in pictures

Designed as a richly illustrated biography, The Story of Nirvana combines text, colour photographs and quotes to document the band's development, music and personalities.

Published in 1995, only a year after the death of Kurt Cobain, this book belongs to the first generation of Nirvana publications released in the immediate aftermath of the band's career. Today, it provides an interesting period document of how Nirvana's story and legacy were presented in the mid-1990s.

An original 1990s publication

With its large 23 × 29 cm format, extensive illustrations and distinctive period design, this book will appeal to Nirvana fans and collectors of original rock and grunge publications from the 1990s. 🎸
