What if you discovered that Kurt Cobain was not only alive, but might be your real father? This nuanced and bittersweet YA debut will keep you guessing until the end. “Utterly gorgeous. Mesmerizing. Hypnotic. I love this book.” —Jennifer Niven, New York Times bestselling author of All the Bright Places Nico Cavan has been adrift since her mother vanished when she was four—maternal abandonment isn’t exactly something you can just get over. Staying invisible at school is how she copes—that and listening to alt music and summoning spirits on the Ouija board with her best friend and coconspirator in sarcasm, Obe. But when a chance discovery opens a window onto her mom’s wild past, it sparks an idea in her brain that takes hold and won’t let go. On a ferry departing Seattle, Nico encounters a slight blond guy with piercing blue eyes wearing a hooded jacket. Something in her heart tells her that this feeling she has might actually be the truth, so she follows him to a remote cabin in the Pacific Northwest. When she is stranded there by a winter storm, fear and darkness collide, and the only one who can save Nico might just be herself.

I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip didn't just watch the life of this legendary band—they lived it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that played and toured with Nirvana, including well-known alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Dead Kennedys, and Butthole Surfers, as well as scores of smaller, but no less fascinating bands. In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band, readers will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever before, including Nirvana's consideration of nearly a dozen previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before settling on David Grohl, a recounting of Nirvana's famously disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides, and the man who hosted the first ever Nirvana gig's recollections of jamming with the band at that inaugural event. I Found My Friends relives Nirvana's meteoric rise from the days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobain's tragic death, Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to observe one of rock and roll‘s most critical bands as no one has ever seen them before.

" Chacun de nous avait perdu l'autre dans un jeu qui pourtant, à ses débuts, comportait une grandeur et un amour véritables, comme celui d'un couple divin qui dans ses ébats recrée sans fin le cosmos. Monique, comme toute femme qui possède d'instinct l'art d'aimer, plus que mon corps avait embrassé mes rêves, et c'est d'eux qu'elle tirait un charme dont la force me paraissait irrésistible. Mais à la source opiacée de ma chair et de mon sang s'entremêlait un philtre désenchanteur qui nourrirait ses pulsions crépusculaires... " Gabriel est un jeune artiste qui voudrait se tailler une place dans le monde. Et pourtant le hante la nostalgie d'un absolu dont il croit découvrir la trace dans sa relation avec Monique. Gerry, demi-frère de Monique, ne s'embarrasse pas de scrupules. Saura-t-il entraîner Gabriel dans une chute définitive ? Histoire d'amour, intrigue politique, quête métaphysique, Nirvana Blues est le roman d'une initiation aux sommets et aux gouffres de l'expérience humaine. Dans une première oeuvre remarquable, Le Fil de fer, Frédéric Gagnon avait déjà interrogé les limites bouleversantes de la condition humaine.
