Text 2 (for questions 3–6)

Next month late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain's life will once again become public property, courtesy of Riverhead Books. And true to Cobain form, "Journals" which NEWSWEEK's Lorraine Ali described in last week U.S edition as "a collection of handwritten diary entries: letters, band memos, drawings, screeds and cries from the heart" - won't be released without controversy.

Riverhead has reportedly paid Cobain's widow Courtney Love, and his 10-year-old daughter, France; roughly $4 million for "Journals". As Ali writes, some fan "worry that it's an invasion of Cobain's privacy, his suicide in April 1994 being tragic, irrefutable evidence of his desire to be left alone." Many would tend to agree. But having read the book, Ali seems to acknowledge its value: "Journals can be raw and unsettling," she writes. But the book also illuminates Cobain's sweet, whimsical side. "She continues, "These contradictions may enhance the way; we listen to Nirvana."
