A recent Courtney Love interview accidentally unearthed a long-lost artifact: Love's unpublished memoir.
PaperMag reporter Alex Scordelis stopped by Love's crib for a Q&A session, and he couldn't help but notice an unfinished manuscript sitting on a nearby table.
Prompted for an answer, Love made an admission.
"It's a disaster," she said. "A nightmare. I never wanted to write a book in my entire life. It just sort of happened. And I have a co-writer, but it's just not working. One of my rules about the book is that it has to stop in 2006. What happens from 2006 on in the book is my personal business. I've been discreet from that time on, and I want to keep it that way."
While fans shouldn't expect the book anytime soon, Love did say that Hole might reunite for some shows in 2015.
"It's more important for me to act right now than to play rock 'n' roll," she says. "Me and Melissa and Patty and Eric have rehearsed a few times. In order to pull that off, we'd have to make some music that's relevant to now, and we'd have to get a modern producer. I'm not going to do the oldies circuit. My relationships with Melissa, Patty and Eric are all great. At this point in my life, no one is my enemy. Any grudges or issues with that past? I'm done with it."
Recently, Love confirmed to the Sunday Times that she doesn't plan on a Hole reunion centered around old songs. Instead, she wants to make new music.
"I don't want to get on the oldies circuit," she said. "I don't need to do that for money. I just want to put out music that is relevant today. [Being] one of the last chicks in a rock 'n' roll band is a weird place to be. It's scary not to be selling out."
In the same interview, she made headlines by saying she blew an obscene amount of Kurt Cobain's Nirvana earnings.
"I lost about $27 million," she said. "I know that's a lifetime of money to most people, but I'm a big girl. It's rock 'n' roll. It's Nirvana money. I had to let it go."
