Summary:
"From the author of Just Kids: the odyssey of an artist, told through the prism of the cafés and haunts she has worked in around the world. Patti Smith describes this book as "a roadmap to my life."
M
Train
begins in the tiny Greenwich Village café where Smith goes every morning for black coffee, ruminates on the world as it is and the world as it was, and writes in her notebook. Through prose that shifts fluidly between dreams and reality, past and present, and across a landscape of creative aspirations and inspirations. We travel to Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul in Mexico; to a meeting of an Arctic explorer's society in Berlin; to a ramshackle seaside bungalow in New York's Far Rockaway that Smith acquires just before Hurricane Sandy hits; and to the graves of Genet, Plath, Rimbaud, and Mishima. Woven throughout are reflections on the writer's craft and on artistic creation. Here, too, are singular memories of Smith's life in Michigan and the irremediable loss of her husband, Fred Sonic Smith. Braiding despair with hope and consolation, illustrated with her signature Polaroids,
M
Train
is a meditation on travel, detective shows, literature, and coffee. It is a powerful, deeply moving book by one of the most remarkable multiplatform artists at work today. Patti Smith is a rock musician, visual artist and writer. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary merging of poetry and rock, releasing twelve albums, including Horses, which has been hailed as one of the top albums of all time. Smith had her first exhibit of drawings at the Gotham Book Mart in 1973 and has been represented by the Robert Miller Gallery since 1978. Her books include Just Kids, Wītt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Auguries of Innocence."--Publisher.
