Charles R. Cross, the author of the "illustrated biography" of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, "Cobain Unseen," will appear at 7:30 tonight at Barnes & Noble (University Village), 2675 N.E. University Village St., Seattle; free (206-517-4107 or www.barnesandnoble.com). The book, featuring Cobain's artworks and writings, "is a deeply personal, tactile, even visceral examination of the late, troubled Seattle rock star," said Seattle Times music critic Patrick MacDonald. Seattleite Cross also wrote the Cobain biography "Heavier than Heaven" and the Jimi Hendrix biography "Room Full of Mirrors."
