The serialisation of Kurt Cobain's diaries began in the Observer yesterday. The diaries, which follow his youth and the Nirvana years, were used by Charles R Cross when he researched a biography of Cobain two years ago. They will be published verbatim on 4 Nov. Julie Grau of publisher Riverhead Books told reporters: "It's a replica of his notebook pages. We have excised any thought of editorial intrusion. This is pure, unadulterated, Kurt Cobain." Highlights are now online at www.observer.co.uk/magazine
