The legend states that "Nothing is truth everything is permitted" were the last words of Hassan-I Sabbah the mythical leader of the ancient and obscure sector of the Murderers. Writer William Burroughs became obsessed with this phrase claiming it was a magic password. In the beginning of the 20th century Burroughs continued viewing Sabbah as one of his mentors. His scandalous life and radical work had become a symbol for rebels and anarchists eventually becoming one of the most ideological precursors in the punk movement. Then the world surrendered before Nirvana considering them to be the ultimate rock-and-roll band with Kurt Cobain the prophet of a new generation as their leader. Since the death of the singer four photographs were found hidden between hundreds of pages of manuscript in which the deceased singer can be seen walking with Burroughs. Each one of these photos tell their own story but also their own mystery. They were taken in October 1993 when Cobain achieved his lifelong dream: to visit Burroughs his biggest and most influential hero. Including artwork and rare photographs this book takes you on a tour of an important part of the 20th century focusing on the connection between Burroughs and Cobain while simultaneously investigating the relationship between music art and rebellion.
