Contents:  How the mind works -- Devotion -- A dream is not a dream. Summary:  "From the renowned artist and author Patti Smith, an inspired exploration of the nature of creative invention. A work of creative brilliance may seem like magic - its source a mystery, its impact unexpectedly stirring. How does an artist accomplish such an achievement, connecting deeply with an audience never met? One of our culture's beloved artists offers a detailed account of her own creative process, inspirations, and unexpected connections. Patti Smith first presents an original and beautifully crafted tale of obsession - a young skater who lives for her art, a possessive collector who ruthlessly seeks his prize, a relationship forged of need both craven and exalted. She then takes us on a second journey, exploring the sources of her story. We travel through the South of France to Camus's house, and visit the garden of the great publisher Gallimard where the ghosts of Mishima, Nabokov, and Genet mingle. Smith tracks down Simone Weil's grave in a lonely cemetery, hours from London, and winds through the nameless Paris streets of Patrick Modiano's novels. Whether writing in a café or a train, Smith generously opens her notebooks and lets us glimpse the alchemy of her art and craft in this arresting and original book on writing. Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. She is the author of the memoirs Just Kids and M Train. Her seminal album Horses has been hailed as one of the top one hundred albums of all time. Smith lives in New York City."--Provided by publisher.
