Synopsis
Rock & roll survivor, feminist heroine, or (in Nirvana producer Steve Albini's memorable phrase) "psycho hosebeast"? Poppy Z. Brite's engrossing biography portrays Courtney Love, the controversial singer and spouse of the late Kurt Cobain, as a little of all of the above. After a traumatic childhood (she may have been dosed with LSD at the age of four by her biological father) with a succession of dismal father figures from her mother's succession of marriages, she spends her adolescence being placed in and absconding from a variety of reform schools and foster homes. Later, with the aid of an opportune trust fund, she starts a peripatetic existence between sundry cities, countries, and musicians, her objectives firmly fixed on becoming a star. Love's well-documented relationship with the emotionally fragile Cobain is explored from her point of view--in fact Brite's perspective is so Courtney-oriented that THE REAL STORY sometimes feels like dictation--and Cobain's suicide, and Love's reaction, are plausibly portrayed. Brite's background in horror story writing is well suited to relating this lurid saga in all its messy contradiction; though ultimately sympathetic to the singer, she leaves any conclusions about the origins of Love's single-minded ambition up to the reader.

Publisher's Note
In "Courtney Love: The Real Story", transgressive fiction author Poppy Z. Brite ("Love in Vein", "Lost Souls", and "Exquisite Corpse") tells the whole truth about the lead singer of the band Hole and uncovers more about this pop culture heroine than any music magazine could ever hope to. Brite also sets the story straight about Love's life with Kurt Cobain, the allegations of her drug use that surrounded the birth of their daughter, Frances Bean, and the wreckage of Cobain's suicide. But what emerges out of all the drama is a woman determined not only to survive, but to succeed more than anyone ever expected.

Industry reviews
Cult novelist Brite used inside connections to create this portrait of rocker/film star/widow Love.
