People who write memoirs annoy me. Unless they are brilliant fiction writers, these people just want to use this as a pretext to reckoning, and writing a memoir becomes just a way to cashing in on someone else’s back.
It could not be more true for Courtney Love, who has just signed a deal with HarperCollins, to write, yes,… a tell-all memoir, as nymagazine reports it.
The Hole woman will give details about her childhood (and certainly her estranged father), her relationship with her estranged daughter Frances Bean, she very probably will go in length about her relationship with Kurt Cobain, but she will not forget to dish out her other liaisons with Billy Corgan and Ed Norton. As it was announced on Thursday by a press release, she wants to ‘set the record straight’ regarding rumors about her:
‘Although Love is often associated with deceased husband, music legend and front man of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, she has had an incredible artistic career of her own crisscrossing into music, film, popular culture and fashion… True to form, Love will hold nothing back in the telling of her life story.’
Well, this is some considerable amount of work for sure because what hasn’t been said about her? Plus, if you have ever read some of her tweets and their unintelligible stammering, the editor, Anthony Bozza, is gonna have an incredible task.
Anyway, with the amount of drugs this woman took, will she be able to remember anything? And how much in this will be completely made up?
