Strictly speaking, this isn’t Détective business as such, so file under tangential activity:

Relatively short notice, but for Los Angeles-area residents, Détective guitarist/singer James Greer will be discussing Eric Erlandson’s new book Letters to Kurt at Skylight Books on Thursday, March 29. All the information you could ever want and more can be found by clicking here.

Eric was co-founder of the band Hole, as we probably don’t need to tell you, and as such has seen his share of rock madness from a probably too-close perspective. Letters to Kurt takes the form of 52 prose poems addressed, however obliquely, to Kurt Cobain, and the writing process was clearly a kind of cathartic experience for Eric. James looks forward to taking apart his fragile psyche discussing the book with him Thursday. If you’re around, please do come out.
